Specifically the dahdi-linux package in Debian switched, at least
temporarily, to that fork. I'm not sure why we need a separate package.

If we keep that separate package, we can update the dahdi-linux package
to the latest version. Or keep dahdi-linux in its current state and
remove the new package.

Did I miss anything? IIRC, osmocomm introduced an extra API in the kernel.
Maybe I excluded it from dahdi-linux and it could be added to avoid the
need for a new package?
