I don't quite understand what you mean here. Probably JeffM's patch conflicted
with the Debian patch(es). You could try looking at the .rej files and merging
the stuff.

Or you could try
http://people.debian.org/~daenzer/reiserfsprogs_3.x.0h-2_powerpc.deb, be aware
that probably only mkreiserfs has a chance of working there.

I had to build everything myself. That's the deal currently with Reiser on
PPC. :)
