Cross-posted to 2 groups.

Package: general
Severity: normal

The /etc/fstab file is created using by default ext4 with just
the errors=remount-ro option. However, the Debian FAQ recommends
the nodelalloc mount option to avoid performance degradation and
preserve data safety:

https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Dpkg/FAQ#Q:_Why_is_dpkg_so_slow_when_using_new_filesystems_such_as_btrfs_or_ext4.3F

  For ext4, use instead the "nodelalloc" mount option, which should
  fix both the performance degradation and the data safety issues,
  and not for just dpkg, but for any application in the system.

So this option should be used by default for btrfs and ext4.
