reiserfs v3 is *not* widely used, and is barely maintained upstream. 
Debian hasn't supported installing to reiserfs for a while.

It is quite possible that we will "fix" this by disabling reiserfs
altogether.  In any case, I strongly recommend that you switch to a
better supported filesystem like ext4 or xfs.
