I would be glad to contribute though I am not a Debian developer, but I
am very interested as I recently had to make Debian packages for
lustre-1.8.0 as no packages from Debian are available yet.
I started from existing Debian sources for lustre-1.6.7-2 and I adapted
then as my knowledge allowed me, and then I made a local Ubuntu
repository. 
We have a 128 client cluster using Infiniband that intends to use Lustre
as the central storage with 2 OSSs and a DDN 9900 unit. Not in
production yet, so I can make tests freely and play with it.
It seems to work but I would be glad to share what I did I learn from
others work
