I know many people here use reiserfs because of its high performance on small files, we have many legacy reiserfs file systems, so I think it's not user friendly to put partman-reiserfs into priority extra, it's better to only mark reiserfs deprecated in list of fs formats and drop it in next Debian release. I just checked the installation manual [1], it does refer to this problem, but I guess many people won't read the *new* manual at all :-( [1] http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/i386/ch06s03.html.en#di-partition -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
