It looks like GlusterFS 3.1.1 is already in the Debian repository
under "experimental":

http://packages.debian.org/search?suite=experimental&searchon=names&keywords=glusterfs

So perhaps what needs to be done is someone to take the patches from
Debian and file a bug at bugs.gluster.com so that the Gluster
developers could include that for future release.

Just my $0.02.

Cheers,

Bernard
