Bug#655438: installation-reports: nilfs2 support



FWIW I have no idea whether adding nilfs2 support to d-i would make
sense somewhat, just trying to answer so that you get an overall idea
of the needed bits.

Yes for the first part, nilfs2.ko is already available in the linux
image packages, and would only need to be included in some udeb for
use within d-i; should be trivial.

You may want to look at what happens in the various partman-*
packages; you probably would need to have an extra udeb built from
the nilfs-tools package (for mkfs.nilfs2 and possibly other bits),
and a new partman-nilfs udeb shipping the various bits for partman
integration, and depending on both the kernel and the nilfs-tools
udeb.
