Yes, I use Debian for Kolab @home.

I do have 3.4 in production on Debian. My test installations are CentOS
and Debian, because Debian Winterfell is really incomplete. Yubikey
works with CentOS, Debian has missing packages...

So, right now I'll stay with 3.4 - what I'll use in a year is completly
undecided.

Last week I tried working with OBS, but I only get:
Server returned an error: HTTP Error 401: Unauthorized
I'll try again sometime soon...

There are some products that need packaging, but I'm unsure if planning
in phabricator makes sense, as nobody is really working on Debian
packages right now - at least that's my impression.
