Debian 4.1.11 from backports seems to have CTDB:

Headers:
    HAVE_CTDB_H
    HAVE_CTDB_PRIVATE_H
    HAVE_CTDB_PROTOCOL_H

HAVE_* Defines:
    HAVE_CTDB_CONTROL_CHECK_SRVIDS_DECL
    HAVE_CTDB_CONTROL_SCHEDULE_FOR_DELETION_DECL
    HAVE_CTDB_CONTROL_TRANS3_COMMIT_DECL
    HAVE_CTDB_WANT_READONLY_DECL
    HAVE_STRUCT_CTDB_CONTROL_TCP
    HAVE_STRUCT_CTDB_CONTROL_TCP_ADDR

Build Options:
    CLUSTER_SUPPORT
