What does the default Debian install do?
Debian seems to use ext3 without directory indexing by default.
Which is a sane choice as directory indexing on ext3 still seems to
be not fully mature.
And as mentioned in another thread it's not available on ext2 at all.
So that means that, in fact, directory lookups on Debian are O(n), and
we are, in fact, subject to problems from huge directories.
