After some effort, I was successful in creating the *extra*
reiser4-modules UDEB:
reiser4-modules-4.1.0-2-amd64-di_4.1.5-2_amd64.udeb
for
kernel-image-4.1.0-2-amd64-di_4.1.5-2_amd64.udeb
I included relevant directives in the build/pkg-lists/netboot/amd64.cfg, thus:
[...]
fat-modules-${kernel:Version}
ext4-modules-${kernel:Version} # Without this, d-i won't know about Ext2/3/4
jfs-modules-${kernel:Version} # Without this, d-i won't know about JFS
reiser4-modules-${kernel:Version} # Thus I thought this would allow
d-i to *know* about reiser4
mkreiser4-udeb # This provides mkfs.reiser4 to d-i
reiser4progs-udeb # This provides fsck.reiser4 to d-i
[...]
After "make build_netboot" finished and tested the installation mini.iso:
lsmod: shows reiser4 module (which I loaded manually from the d-i shell utility)

However d-i partman still does not recognize the reiser4-formatted partition:

Which means, I now should attempt to create a partman-reiser4 udeb for d-i?
Thank you for all your help and I appreciate your hints and suggestions.
Best professional Regards.
