Hello sorry about taking so long to reach out to you, but I've been using my own modified aufs package for some time now. I believe it supports all three of your requirements (eg. it creates package aufs-dkms-5.7 for a kernel version, so you can have more of them installed). You can check it out here: https://salsa.debian.org/jpalecek-guest/aufs-debian To update to a newer version, do: $ uscan $ cd ../aufs-X.XX $ touch debian/config.in $ debian/rules files You can also do "gbp import orig" if you like. However, there's a more serious problem with aufs. The latest kernel omits the kernel patch needed to make the module, which means the resulting package is useless. See: https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/-/commit/908c469bc64738ac2f66667d0f21a5daee9648be#note_244404 What is your take on this? I was using aufs for schroot only, and maybe will try to use other ways. Regards Jiri Palecek
