FWIW, I do use pacemaker (1.1.12-1) / corosync (2.3.4-1) / DRBD on
Debian (jessie), using packages I built a while back (there's some
emails in the archive about problems I had building pacemaker). It's
mostly pretty stable, though I've had a couple of issues:

i) I ended up building the DRBD module from source, as the one in
jessie's kernel didn't play very nicely with drbd-utils - see #794680

ii) I'm still investigating an issue (on an upstream list) with
occasional data loss at startup of a new drbd resource
