Bug Description
live-build can build ext2 and ext3 binary image types, but does not have support for ext4. Since ext4 is used on our cloud images, we need to have ext4 support.
This affects the Oneiric version of live-build.
Patch that fixes this is attached.

Thanks for your patch. Could you forward it to Debian? We're trying to get our live-build package in sync with Debian, and the maintainer there is typically responsive.
(When you forward the patch, I suggest leaving out the whitespace-only change to lb_binary_usb, fixing the spelling of LB_BINARY_ FILESYSTEM in two places in lb_binary_ virtual- hdd and removing the spurious '.' in the same file, and dropping the commenting-out of 'cp -af binary/.disk* binary.tmp' in lb_binary_ virtual- hdd.)
