Good!

OFED is one distribution of the OpenFabrics software. It can be
bundled up and packaged differently, too. I suspect that Debian does
not include OFED directly, because OFED is pretty heavily dependent
upon RPM. So the OpenFabrics kernel bits must be there somewhere
(libibverbs would be useless, otherwise); it would be nice to
understand how they are activated: either manually or automatically.

Could you check with some of your other Debian maintainers?
