I've been playing with this on Debian Woody, with an eye towards eventually
replacing our RedHat 7.0 server. Unfortunately the stuff on bestbits.at is
a touch RedHat-centric at times.
Patching and compiling the kernel works just like it does under RedHat, of
course. The libacl, acl, libacl-devel, libattr, attr, and libattr-devel
RPMs from bestbits install cleanly with "alien". Samba compiles fine with
ACL support and winbind if you do "./configure --with-acl-support
--with-winbind". The only thing I haven't figured out yet is coreutils.
*Don't* try to use the coreutils RPM from bestbits; it will break a Debian
system.
Fortunately for my application ACL support in coreutils isn't strictly
necessary.
