Well, neither DRBDmanage nor DRBD 9 (which have an 0.21 resp. an rc1 out 
now) are stable yet, and so are not yet available in any upstream 
repository.

We can either provide an apt repository or put the needed .debs into some 
location, to have them installed during the devstack run.

I guess the later option is better because it won't have issues with 
firewalls, proxies, etc., and we will only provide versions that proved 
more-or-less stable anyway - there's no need to change these that often, 
I guess that once every two weeks or so is a good approximation.
