Actually, I was just thinking of a kernel package (having an
up-to-date result of a "make-kpkg" live in the Debian tree so
that one could "apt-get" it would be wonderful).

Hmm.  Maybe's it's already there and I just don't know about
it... hmm... maybe I should try emailing the maintainer of the
xfslibs-dev and xfsprogs packages... let's see... Nathan Scott.

As for keeping up with installers: Debian itself seems to have
trouble keeping up with Debian's installer; I assume that this
results from the fact that so many Debian systems are "install
once, easily upgrade forever".  So... I wouldn't worry about it. 
As long as I can easily upgrade to an XFS capable kernel, I'll
be happy.  :)
