Sure. That sounds reasonable.

It would be nice to get someone from the community to take this on;
especially others besides just Red Hatters, who have their day jobs to
do as well.

If there are bugs in the current Debian packages it would be helpful
to file bugs in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=GlusterFS. Select
the "packaging" component.

This is not limited to just RPM packaging issues. You can add a link
to, e.g. the bug in the Debian bug tracker in the "See Also:" field.
Just doing that would be immensely helpful.

Thanks,
