Well, there are multiple userspace-tools udebs, right? (I'm not sure about
how this works -- I can't really figure out where mkfs.* comes from :-) )
They'd have to register themselves in some sane way allowing for partconf to
lookup filesystems into debs, then.

Something like "partconf/userspace-packages/ext3 = e2fsprogs", perhaps? This
would of course have to be a documented hook. :-)
