XFS is the default file system used by the main Enterprise Linux=20
distribution, so I think that we should default to use it too.

<Md> juliank: since RH defaults to XFS I think that we should as well, but =
I=20
     have no idea about how to do this in Debian without wasting months in=
=20
     bikeshedding and then fail anyway :-(
<zeha> start with a partman bug and see if it dissolves into bikeshedding?
