I'm happy to include this in the next revision of the package if someone
feels inspired to do it. That will make it much faster than if I have to
go research it myself, although I will do that eventually since I do want
it to work. But realistically it's going to be a little while before I
can get to it, so I'd welcome contributions.

The debian/rules file in openafs-modules-source does say everything that
one needs to know about how the module is built, although alas you have to
be able to untangle make syntax to figure it out.
