You are probably referring to http://www.bareos.org/en/whats_new.html listing Gluster API (on RHEL 7) under Cloud Storage Backends. That's mainly for packaging reasons, RHEL 7/CentOS 7 provide the packages required to build and run with GlusterFS API, while Debian and Ubuntu don't. It does not make much sense for the Bareos Community project to work on packaging based on gluster.org packages, as there are too many different versions and it is still rarely used. However, this does not necesarily mean it would not work with Debian, it is possible to download the Bareos source code from github and compile it yourself on Debian with gluster storage backend enabled. Configure will even find out what backends it can build given the packages you have installed so there is no need to enable something specific. If people use the same compile options as the Debian build system uses and they have either CEPH or Gluster installed things will be build. And in essence you only need the gluster storage plugin which should fit in the pre-compiled packages (as long as you use the same version of Bareos of course). About supported in the sense of professional/commercial support for GlusterFS: As far as I know only Red Hat provides such support with is Red Hat Storage product.
