What about: Select the aufs-standalone branch to use, without the leading 'aufs' part (i.e. just the version). Note that the version you choose must match that of your kernel.

I haven't worked on this package for over a year now, so you may want to remove my Signed-off-by and just CC me. Am definitely still interested to see this completed, though. Best, Christian
