At Debian a freeze is a freeze. There is no workaround. After a freeze and release of stable they only accept "security fixes". The only question is, how serious the freeze is. AFAIR the last freeze was summer last year, targeting September for Release. Then the release was delayed to March ... > mean, development is in 0.8, 0.7 is in "bugfix-only-mode" anyways. Not all "bugfixes" are "security fixes". IMHO the mainstream of users can live with 0.7.10. If someone has special requirements, (s)he can - install from Debian /unstable (or /testing after release) - compile from tar/SVN - request LINBIT services - backport future releases to stable - use another $distri IMHO it's important for the popularity of DRBD to have the "pretty stable" 0.7.10 in Debian.
