We're considering to make support for reiserfs optional in Debian Installer for Squeeze. In the D-I team there seems to be consensus for that. Main reason is to reduce the memory footprint for standard installs which has increased amongst others because support for other filesystems (ext4, and possibly also btrfs) has been added. As mentioned above, reiserfs would still be supported, but only if the user explicitly selects it. The only change needed is lowering the priority of udebs, which I'd take care of. Comments?
