There are no debian b-f as of yet for either potato or woody. There are
some space issues to get it on a boot floppy.
The 2.4 kernel with xfs is fairly large and if you compile it in your
kernel will quickly jump to around 900K. Add some extra features and your
over 1 MB.
Making it installable would need to see a dropdown or selectionbox at
format time in the debian installer for selecting XFS or Reiserfs or ext2.
It's not there yet for debian. It does work as advertised though but
beware of compiler issues. 2.95.3 egcs 1.1.2 are known to work and are
tested most. gcc 3 CVS has one positive report.
