the old release from jessie (1.6.9-2+deb8u6) AND from jessie-backports 
(1.6.18.2-1~bpo8+1) fails to build on the new kernel with the 
"Meltdown"-fixes (which for Debian-Jessie is 3.16.0-5-amd64)...


I created packages in a way similar to what I wrote in 
https://lists.openafs.org/pipermail/openafs-info/2016-December/041997.html 
only that I did it all on a Debian Jessie system, instead of Ubuntu 14.04.


So far everything works fine, the DKMS-module was built successfully and 
the AFS-client seems completely usable.

Indeed.  It's rather unfortunate that the process involved always
makes the lead time for a fix in stable-proposed-updates take
a couple weeks.  (Not that my busy schedule is helping, either.)
