Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal

There are some other bugs, related to xfs, but not quite like this.
For example there is a separate bug that causes xfsprogs to not be
installed in target (which is fine to do by default, but not when one
has at least 1 xfs file system configured in target tree).
My problem is that one cannot even create xfs in partman.
If one selects Use as: XFS file system, and then continue
it will fail with fatal error, and no help either in partman,
installer or in logs.
I figured out that this is because mkfs.xfs is not available
in the installer environment.
Which is weird, because xfsprogs-udev is there.
No issues with btrfs, ext2-4, fat, jfs. They are available by default.

Witold
