This is also Debian bug #168852.  I'd love to do this, but don't know
exactly how to do it safely.  I'd love to cooperate with the kernel
package maintainers on finding a good way to do this.  The OpenAFS build
system is rather more complex than most of the other kernel module
examples I've been able to find.
