Not really. If you build debian packages from drbd-utils, you also get a
transitional drbd8-utils package (which 'Depends:' on drbd-utils). I
guess an '|'-dependency would not hurt. I will think about that.

The easiest way is to clone the repo and then do a:
"make prepare_release" and then continue with the resulting
drbd-8.4.6-debian.tar.gz tarball (which contains
drbd-8.4.6/drbd/.drbd_git_revision).
In general you have 3 options:
- Become a customer, we know how to build packages.
- Use a release tarball (or generate one).
- Directly from git: you are on your own and we expect that you know
what you are doing.
