i think the HA add-on repo would be a good idea. 

the issue for us sysadmins is:

  those who want HA usually want it because they have mission-critical
systems. and there you DO NOT want to run an instable distribution that
changes all the time. you want something tried and true that will stay the
same and only have security critical fixes but no other changes at all.

  it is nice to have the newest software for test systems to play with but
for our production needs we also need a stable branch that we can rely on.
so if the pacemaker is not part of the main branch of jessie the "HA add-on
repo" would fulfill the same need (if it is kept stable there).
