Should send a comment/bug report to the Debian Reiserfs pkg maintainers about a lack of dependency. Unless of course mkfs is able to make/format many filesystem types, whether installed or not.
If you try to use jfs or xfs, please check that the tools for that filesystem are installed before hitting the panic button. ;-) 42.

Hmmm... this is disturbing a function that does something when the software is not installed rather than complain that the software isn't installed. This sounds like a flaw to me. Very disturbing.
