On a old PVE 4.4 setup it looks like this. But it may not be complete.

:~# dpkg -l | grep -i ceph
ii  ceph                                 0.94.10-1~bpo80+1                  amd64        distributed storage and file system

Its one problem. When install *.deb from ceph repos it says:

root@pve2:~# dpkg -i ceph_0.94.9-1~bpo70+1_amd64.deb 
dpkg: regarding ceph_0.94.9-1~bpo70+1_amd64.deb containing ceph:
 ceph breaks python-ceph (<< 0.92-1223)
  python-ceph (version 0.80.8-1~bpo70+1) is present and installed.

dpkg: error processing ceph_0.94.9-1~bpo70+1_amd64.deb (--install):
 installing ceph would break python-ceph, and
 deconfiguration is not permitted (--auto-deconfigure might help)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 ceph_0.94.9-1~bpo70+1_amd64.deb

It is easier to use it as a repository to have all dependencies checked. As they sure changed.

root@pve:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ceph.list
deb http://download.ceph.com/debian-hammer wheezy main

I add ceph repo, but packages don't install.

root@pve3:~# pveceph install --version hammer
download and import ceph repository keys
update available package list
Reading package lists...

Reading state information...
Package ceph is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  ceph-common

E: Package 'ceph' has no installation candidate
command 'apt-get -q --assume-yes --no-install-recommends -o 'Dpkg::Options::=--force-confnew' install -- ceph ceph-common gdisk' failed: exit code 100

I solve my problem. If you need install ceph on proxmox 3.4 do this:

dpkg -i libcephfs1_0.94.9-1~bpo70+1_amd64.deb
apt-get remove python-ceph --purge

If anyone is still migration 3.x boxes:

I found out that the problem is an issue of preference between backports, release and the ceph repo. This can be resolved by:

echo /etc/apt/preferences.d/ceph >> “Package: *
Pin: origin download.ceph.com
Pin-Priority: 600”
