In less good news, there's a dependency cycle:

crmsh Build-Depends upon libcib4-dev (>=1.1.12), which in turn Depends
upon pacemaker (= 1.1.12-1~bpo8+1)

But pacemaker Depends upon crmsh | pcs.

This makes building crmsh from source "challenging" - you can't install
pacemaker (needed to build crmsh) without already having build crmsh.

My initial suspicion is that the various libraries don't actually need
to Depend upon pacemaker?
