Bug#717236: partman-reiserfs: depends on obsolete package reiserfs-modules



Hi,

why has reiserfs support been removed before useful tools to convert reiserfs 
to btrfs are available? btrfs-convert 
(https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Conversion_from_Ext3) can only 
convert ext2/3/4, but *not* reiserfs. Are there any useful tools to do such a 
conversion without copying terabytes of data to an additional disk, 
reformatting the original disk with btrfs and copying everything back?

If a useful and working feature like reiserfs is going to be removed, the 
installer should at least provide an easy conversion option to do all the 
conversion automatically. Just removing it and expecting the user to find some 
solution is just annoying!
