Upgrading to ext4 might be a solution, but I personally think that changing the Lab layout is the "right thing(tm)" to do in this case. Considering we want derivatives to do archive-wide Lintian runs, it may be prudent to be file-system agnostic. Also, we can (ab)use this oppertunity to enable "multi-version" + "multi-architectures" in static labs as well. Hopefully we can also clean up the Lab API while we are at it.
