You probably want the updated kernel module, as it contains some 
patches that aren't in 2.2 yet.
	ftp.coda...:/pub/coda/src/linux-coda-5.2.0.tgz

And you might be able to get the compilation/packaging going by using 
the 5.0.? debian .dsc and patch-files.
	ftp.coda...:/pub/coda/linux/debian
	ftp.debian.org:/pub/debian/project/experimental (newer?)

Apply the patch against the 5.2.0 sources, which you can get from
	ftp.coda...:/pub/coda/src/coda-5.2.0.tgz

It might compile just fine.

Just keep us posted about how the system is behaving.
