I never tested my packages in ubuntu for now, but got a similar report from 
another ubuntu user.

I will definitly take a look at this and will change the dependencies if it 
doen't brake anything on debian sid, sarge or etch. It's on the todo list for 
the next version. (I think available next week when 3.0.1 is released).

gnbd is also available on packages.debianbase.de. take a look at:
http://packages.debianbase.de/sarge/i386/gnbd/

But it's really only gnbd (without the rest of the redhat cluster suite) and I 
am not very happy about the packages at all (a working but ugly hack). I 
would like to see at least a recent gnbd version in debian natively... I 
think I will submit a whishlist bug against the old and broken original gnbd 
packages which are still in unstable. I need gnbd myself and it shouldn't be 
a problem for the maintainer to update the gnbd packages, don't know why this 
didn't happend in the last time. Maybe the debian guys could take the ubuntu 
solution if gnbd is working well there.
