Which package(s)?  The criu-tools have already been packaged by Adrian
Reber, so that's at least one down.

As for actually enabling the kernel config options for CRIU in the
kernel, we talked about that yesterday at FUDCon.  I need to discuss
this with the kernel team still, but a tentative idea is to enable it
in rawhide debug kernels to start with and see how things go from
there.  That's 3.7 based at the moment.  I've resisted enabling it so
far because namespaces aren't completed yet and it depends on those.
It's also hidden behing CONFIG_EXPERT, which I _really_ don't want to
enable because it makes the kernel configs a mess.
