Perhaps it is not too useful right now but I'm planning to update it for
kernel 3.16 eventually...

I would never needed "ceph-dkms" in first place if Ceph were maintained in
kernel well enough...

What's the rush? "ceph-dkms" is in "experimental" only...
Feel free to request removal if you find "ceph-dkms" still outdated six months
from now. In any case by that time most likely I will not be using Ceph any
more...

That's pretty much the current situation -- we have "ceph-dkms" only in
"experimental" so when needed we could test fixes promptly (or rapidly deploy
hot-fixes when necessary). I tried to rely on kernel modules in main kernel
package and failed miserably -- as consequence I had to make "ceph-dkms" to
test and deploy critical fixes. We do not encourage "ceph-dkms" and it is
available only to "advanced" users who know about "experimental" suite.
Package even have a note that it is not suitable for release...
