9.0.32 is EoL, you should not access it anyways :). packages.linbit.com
is a service we provide to our paying customers. Everyone can access the
index, but actual downloading requires a token. You have several
options:

- talk to sales at linbit.com to get a subscription (there are multiple
  options including downloading only for example)
- use the PPA[1] (and Ubuntu, don't create a Franken-Debian). I would
  suggest that only for testing, not for production (bugfixes might be
  delayed, you might get (buggy) RCs,...).
- build a release tarball on your own from git that includes the debian/
  directory. Because of the compatibility layer in DRBD the release
  process is a bit more involved than with other projects. From that you
  could then "debuild" the dkms, there is even some information in the
  git log, just filter for "debuild" and my name.
