You can find fresher Corosync and Pacemaker (and DLM) packages at
deb http://apt.niif.hu/debian jessie main.  This is my somewhat volatile
testing repo, which represents more closely that we plan to upload.

I know that at least >= 0.12 is needed, but did not test anything in
between.  Is 0.17.1 a strict lower limit?

Thanks; I haven't reviewed fence-agents yet, but this info will come
handy.

Right, I also changed that part.

That would be excellent.  Field testing is something we really need.
