Sure: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-samba/trunk/ctdb/debian/patches/06_services_names.diff?op=file&rev=0&sc=0
(this is a very trivial patch, because some part is already merged,
see https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5258).

I've only done samba and httpd.

ctdb and interface are working out of the box.

Summary:
00.ctdb: no changes needed, tested -> OK
10.interface: no changes needed, tested -> OK
40.vsftpd:  not patched, not tested
41.httpd: patched and tested -> OK
50.samba: patched and tested -> OK
60.nfs:  not patched, not tested
61.nfstickle:  not patched, not tested
70.iscsi:  not patched, not tested (I don't have the hardware)
90.ipmux:  not patched, not tested
91.lvs:  not patched, not tested

This is a good news. So we can enable clustering by default in debian
by adding "--with-ctdb --with-cluster-support" to configure options
(--enable-pie=no is already enabled)/
