It's already possible. Install normally on an ext2-partition, compile yourself a kernel with ext3 (you need patching), initialize the journal ("tune2fs -j /dev/hda", for instance) and replace "ext2" in fstab with "ext3". e2fsprogs in (in Woody at least) are fully ext3-compliant. And by the way, if you use filesystem-type "auto" in /etc/fstab you can even switch between ext3-aware kernel and ont that only has ext2! Suonpää...
