The problems are providing build scripts for less knowledgeable users
that stick to official releases rather than development trees, where
those users don't have a DRBD-enabled kernel.

I will if necessary, but it's not entirely that simple as I am preparing
scripts for a release that doesn't exist yet that need to be backward
compatible and it requires a fair bit more work.
Bottom line is, if absolutely necessary, I will work around it; but
since the fix is already done, if a release is due soon, there's no
point me wasting effort working around a problem that's about to go away
- if that makes sense.
