It's easy and then it's not. The Debian way is to download the Lustre kernel packages and the Lustre binary packages. You build a kernel using make-kpkg the --with-patches Lustre option, we found a bug when trying to use the --append_to_kernel option so unless that got fixed, don't use it, it will save you a lot of headache. When you have your nice new Debianized Lustre kernel then install it and then reboot into the new kernel. Once in the new kernel then run m-a and compile all the Lustre modules and load them up. You are now ready to use Lustre Debian style. If deploying this on a cluster, just install your ready made .debs for the kernel and modules. None of this was explained in the README in /usr/share/doc/Lustre so we had to figure it out ourselves. Hopefully the Debian folks have fixed that.
Do not use a vanilla kernel from kernel.org, only use the kernel source from the Debian repository as the Lustre kernel packages are tested against them. We have done this on Lenny about a year ago, I don't think Etch had Debian packages for Lustre.
