This is the second time that Ed has broken Reiserfs support in Debian,

some mysterious reports of things breaking have their source.
I can't see from the message below that this breakage has anything to do
with Ed's work. The progsreiserfs package has a separate maintainer; it
also has a release-critical bug open on it due to these known (to us)
problems, and will not be included in the upcoming sarge release. It also
has not been available in the Debian testing suite for some time, nor is it
included with the Debian installer: anyone who pulls packages from Debian
unstable without looking at any of these issues does so at their own risk.
Incidentally, aside from having had its reiserfs resize support pulled
because it depended on the buggy progsreiserfs implementation, qtparted has
itself also been dropped from testing due to an unrelated RC bug.
Thanks,
