It would be most helpful if openafs-modules were prebuilt and
distributed as binaries, at least for major kernel releases.

It looks like all of the other modules in Debian are moving away from
providing pre-built versions in the archive since building those binary
packages is rather difficult to do given how Debian package building is
structured. Instead, the right solution is probably to add more
automation to a module build framework like module-assistant to rebuild
modules automatically when kernels are upgraded.
Given the debian-devel discussion and the complexity of the problem, I
don't expect we'll ever build binary kernel images for the main archive.
