Don't remove Reiserfstools (Re: plagiarism of reiserfs by Debian)

Please don't. I'm running reiserfs on most of my home system's disks and have 
been *very* happy with it (..and don't even have the disk space required for 
converting ;).

Just because one small feature of a magnificent piece of software is slightly 
annoying, doesn't justify removing it from the repository. That would take a 
severe license problem and even then I would recommend moving it to non-free 
if the problem doesn't make the package strictly illegal.
