Each filesystems ha its own syntax to specify this (at least ext3
syntax seems different from xfs, etc.) through the "-i" option to mkfs.

I wonder if that couldn't be extended to "Please allow passing
file system-specific options to mkfs"....

I'm not a partman wizard, though, so I'm unsure whethe rthat belongs
to that specific package.
