OK, I'll make it so that explicit ext4 on wheezy gives an error and
output a message that ext3 is being used on wheezy if roottype not
specified.

I can't guarantee that generic recipes for all current suites will
always exist though, especially unstable and after point releases. (I'm
hoping that lava.debian.net will help with point release testing.)
