Hi,

The Dazuko project provides a kernel module. The current release version
of Dazuko (and all previous release versions) do not work correctly with
the Linux kernel that Debian now ships. This is because Dazuko uses the
kernel LSM hooks, but Debian compiles the "Capability" module statically
in the kernel. (The capability module forbids other LSM modules from
loading.)

A completely new version of Dazuko is currently being developed. The new
version works as a stackable filesytem rather than using LSM. This would
allow Dazuko to once again work with the Debian kernel. But this new
version is not yet available in a stable form and it may be many months
before it is.

In my opinion, this is enough reason to remove Dazuko from the Debian
project. I (as maintainer of the Dazuko project) would hope that Dazuko
may someday rejoin Debian once it is successfully working as a stackable
filesystem. (Optimally, Dazuko would join the mainline kernel
development, which may allow it to later automatically become a part of
Debian.)
