This is not going to help much in that case.

There are three cases for not showing ext3 as possible file system:

1. partman-ext3 is not installed for some reason

2. the kernel module for ext3 is not present

3. partman-ext3 doesn't detect that the ext3 module is loaded in the
   kernel. 

In order to check 3. partman does this:

1. Tries to find ext3 in /proc/modules
2. If this fails then does modprobe ext3
3. Finaly tries to find ext3 in /proc/filesystems

Please send the contents of the files /proc/modules and
/proc/filesystems.  Check also if the kernel module for ext3 is in
/lib/modules.
