1.8.11 is only for kernel 6.7, right? If I am correct, it will not build 
for Ubuntu 24.04 with 6.8.

Will you include the patches that are in noble-proposed to support 6.8?

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openafs/1.8.10-2.1ubuntu3.1

Sorry, I cannot trace the origin of these patches, whether you did them 
to the Debian package or someone else took them from gerrit just for Ubuntu.

Without 6.8 support, the next HWE update for jammy will break the PPA 
package again in a few month -- and 1.8.11 would be newer than 1.8.10 
with patches in the Ubuntu repository, if they migrate the 6.8 fixes 
from noble to jammy.

BTW, to Stephen: There are packaged with 6.5 support in jammy-proposed 
for a while now, but no one does the verification for mantic, which 
seems to be required for a jammy release (since the patches come from 
noble and have to go down the chain):
