hi Ben,

FYI reiser4progs 1.0.0-3 has support for the udebs build (disabled by
default). so probably you want to start from it to build your udebs.

i also uploaded 1.0.0-4 to experimental, it provides the udebs. it is
waiting for ftp-master because of the two new udeb packages but is also
available at http://people.debian.org/~cavok/reiser4progs/.

probably you'll want also a patched grub to boot your system... but i
haven't built it yet. sorry.

cheers
domenico
