why dion't you do that by postinst trigger, before update-initramfs one? or
modify upd-initrmfs trigger, adding couple of lines...

would be much more comfortable, if you add "reiser4" to the package version.
like "x.y.z-n+reiser4". or maybe even name a package "parted-reiser4", with
smth like "provides: parted" and "conflicts: parted", so that it won't be
overwritten by original version on upgrade, but satisfy dependencies on "parted"

hmm, not sure about d-i logic, but what's the problem with slightly older
kernel? i'm running on 3.x (custom-setup r4 patched) on testing with no
problems so far

I have built a modified version of initramfs-tools package that has as
default those Reiser4 -specific settings
but wanted to allow d-i to select most of its packages from regular
Debian repositories.
I will keep in mind your suggestion while I think about improving the
user experience, though. Thanks.

That suggestion is probably fine for the reiser4-parted DEBs but the
kernel included in d-i is 'picky' and I have not had luck changing its
name to something other than *official* Debian because d-i then
refuses to install from the Debian repositories.
Notwithstanding, one way that I have prevented overwriting
Reiser4-enabled Debian packages is by placing a *hold* on them, thus:
For the kernel, for instance:
echo "linux-image-4.3.0-1-amd64 hold" | dpkg --set-selections
And for Debian Parted:
echo "parted hold" | dpkg --set-selections
echo "libparted2 hold" | dpkg --set-selections
And we can check for those packages effectively being on *hold* and
not replaced by Debian package manager, thus:
dpkg --get-selections | grep linux-image
dpkg --get-selections | grep parted

After Debian is installed, a custom kernel version/name will survive
-- as well as an official kernel on *hold* ; however, during a *new*
Debian installation d-i seems *very* picky about matching
kernel/changelog version(s) with packages in repositories.

well, i see. right way, probably. but you can the needed hook in any installion
scripts that you modify anyhow. i think, you messed with any of those, yes?

that's the option, yeah, but placing packages on hold can lead to some expected
dependecies conflicts in the future, and is generally rather "dirty" way. using
special package names like "parted-reiser4" is much clear anyhow, what is more,
you can easily run your local repo with r4-patched kernels/tools/libs, and it
will be the most clear of obvious way for the enduser to keep all this stuff
upgraded without worrying whether it's r4-patched stuff or not. this would be a
perfect variant, i think. user just install "linux-....-reiser4",
"parted-...-reiser4" and "whatever-....-reiser4", and you just build new
packages from time to time, and everyone have their stuff updated usual way.

This issue may be resolved subsequently -- although probably using a
procedure that occurs *earlier* than 'the hooks' :)

Using the same Debian Sid Linux kernel source, I generated another
Reiser4-enabled kernel 'the Debian Way' -- but with a custom changelog
that clearly shows has Reiser4 super power :D
https://metztli.it/readOnlyEphemeral/linux-image-4.3.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64_4.3.3-5+reiser4.0.2_amd64.tar
Once installed into a Debian distro, a uname -a yields:
Linux [host] 4.3.0-1+reiser4.0.1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian
4.3.3-5+reiser4.0.1 (2016-01-07) x86_64 GNU/Linux
Hence *hold* is not necessary for said kernel.

Well renaming Debian GNU Parted can wait -- as it is optional for the
user *even* after Debian is installed; i.e., I have embedded the
Reiser4-enabled lib/parted[2] UDEB into previoulsy referenced
Debian-Installer (d-i) netboot ISO:
http://metztli.it/readOnlyEphemeral/metztli_it-reiser4_d-i.iso
Thanks for your suggestions, Dimas.

Important note for Jessie:
Opening a shell in the installer environment prior to d-i menu
suggesting to install GRUB, enter:
chroot /target
Modify /etc/initramfs-tools/modules file by adding directives
crc32c_intel
reiser4
at the end of the file and saving the modifications,
And *prior* to installing the Reiser4 -enabled kernel make sure to
replace the older reiser4progs 1.0.9 with the newer reiser4progs
1.1.0-1.1 -- which may be downloaded from previously posted link,
i.e.:
http://metztli.it/readOnlyEphemeral/reiser4progs-4.0.1.tar
These last utilites will require download access to Stretch or Sid (Unstable)
for instance adding a line:
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian sid main non-free contrib
in /etc/apt/sources.list and performing apt-get update
to fulfill dependencies needed in Jessie:
libncurses5
libncursesw5
libreadline5
libtinfo5
The above is necessary since when the Reiser4 -enabled kernel is
installed, it will trigger initramfs-tools creation of
initrd.img-xyz-amd64 which *should* have newer reiser4progs 1.1.0-1.1
file utilities.
Optional: parted-reiser4_3.2-12 dependencies form Stretch and/or Sid(Unstable):
dmsetup
libdevmapper1.02.1

That applies *only* if user decides to install Jessie (Stable) --
which Debian repositories still contain reiser4progs 1.0.9.
The Reiser4 -enabled Debian-Installer (d-i) has reiser4progs 1.1.0-1.1
UDEBs, i.e., *new* Reiser4 4.0.1 version of the utilities to match the
Reiser4 -enabled kernel. Thus, per prior Ed's email [1]...
"NOTE: after mount in the new kernel you won' t be able to
check your partition by reiser4progs-1.0.9 and older versions, so
please upgrade your reiser4progs BEFORE"
[1] http://marc.info/?l=reiserfs-devel&m=144103447029219&w=2
reiser4progs 1.1.0-1.1 are already 'native' in the Stretch and
Sid(Unstable) Debian repos.
Best Professional Regards.

Reiser4 version 4.0.1 -support for Debian.ized GNU Parted -- will
generate DEBs and UDEBs:
Already patched repo:
https://github.com/Metztli/reiser4-debian-parted
OR git clone git://git.debian.org/git/parted/parted.git

Reiser4 4.0.1 -patched partman-reiser4 component integrates Reiser4
support into menu-driven Debian-Installer (d-i) -- requires
reiser4-debian-parted
Included in repo:
https://github.com/Metztli/debian-partman-reiser4
This component source is hacked (literally) and does not exist
currently in Debian. It generates a UDEB that adds the Reiser4 option
to the Debian-Installer (d-i) menu. Please make sure to *also include*
in your d-i UDEBs generated from Reiser4 4.0.1 -enabled Debian.ized
GNU Parted; otherwise, d-i menu driven installation will fail.

Reiser4 4.0.1 -enabled Reiser4progs utilities to manage Reiser4 4.0.1
derived creation, formatting, and partitioning. In addition to
generating the desired userland utilities for Debian (which are
already in Stretch & Sid debian repos), it creates UDEBs suitable for
inclusion in a Reiser4 4.0.1 -enabled Debian-Installer (d-i)
Patch inclueded in repo:
https://github.com/Metztli/debian-installer-reiser4progs
and attached patch below:

Based on building a Reiser4 4.0.1 -patched Linux kernel the 'debian way'
(hack, literally -- but it works ;-) prior post:
https://metztli.it/blog/index.php/aH0?blog=4
Creates Reiser4 4.0.1 kernel module UDEB suitable for inclusion into
Debian-Installer (d-i); please, note that, as explained in the referenced
blog above, /usr/share/kernel-wedge/package-list
must also be modified in addition to this patch below attached:
