I am in complete agreement that we would not want to include EVMS, XFS or
similar in our default kernel unless (or until) they are part of the
official kernel.
However, I am willing to do some work to support EVMS in d-i, and to provide
EVMS-enabled installation media for those who are interested in trying it.
If I can use this experience to improve volume management support in d-i,
then I would hope that my contributions would be welcome.
