Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainers,

I did a test installation using debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso from 
2021-03-15 (Debian bullseye/11), chose the LVM option,
and noticed that once the system is installed and boots, the kernel complains 
with this message:

  ext2 filesystem being mounted at /boot supports timestamps until 2038 
(0x7fffffff)

This is not fatal, but is ugly and most people would prefer a system without 
this message.

The problem comes from the fact that the boot partition is created as ext2 with 
128 bytes inodes.

One fix would be to create the /boot filesystem as ext4 with 256 bytes inodes.

The same problem exists in the Debian buster installer and will show up when 
buster systems are upgraded to a 5.10 kernel.

Thanks for your work!
