OK, I'll update the docs, add a yarn test and a check on the options that ext4 isn't going to work if wheezy is specified. (i.e. --roottype becomes required if distribution is mapped to wheezy using distro_info and the roottype must not be ext4.) IIRC syslinux in wheezy just doesn't handle ext4 for the boot files. A separate /boot ext2 partition seems to be more work than it's worth. Once grub is working, it may be possible to convert to ext4 [0] but that too seems like a lot of work/risk.
