This was the case. Yes. If recent kernels have fixed that, fine. I
never used it myself (tried jfs long ago). So if Reiser3 works indeed
fine, than the next revision of d-i can of course include it.

Ok. I was reading axp-list and this one for years, and several people
reported trouble with Reiser. Of course, time does not stand still and
if Reiser is now cleaned up, people simply stopped reporting errors
and that's how the impression might have got stuck.
