I think that quota in Debian work quite well on ext3 too but with one exception: When you try to scp a file which exceeds the qouta you'll get a corrupted file in the directory you've tried to copy. The ls -l command indicates the orginal filesize while the quota says you used up your space. Actually I would expect the copy process to stop when you exceeds your quota limits.
