Actually, I think there might be 2 issues here.

1) DRBD package providers are too general 2) kernel package providers are not general enough

With extras repo disabled my dependency check now produces this:

Now it can't find the kernel packages.

I was just doing some pre-installation checking and I came across this weird dependency for cman-kernel.

Seems kernel-module-drbd is listed as a provider for /lib/modules/... instead of just the drbd module it is suppose to cover.
