Although I don't have experience with OpenAFS servers on Debian, I am
currently running with three 1.4.14 servers and one 1.6.0 server running
DAFS. All are on CentOS. Moving volumes back and forth between 1.4 and 1.6
servers seems to work fine, and everything else seems to  "just work" too.
The only special thing I had to do was remember to use a different "bos
create" syntax to use DAFS.

Perhaps your the other admin was referring to this page about "Converting a
Fileserver to DAFS" - http://docs.openafs.org/QuickStartUnix/apcs04.html
