I see no code in the old lupin package that forced the inclusion of these other filesystem drivers. These drivers are not needed for the Ubuntu images that we generate, they are only useful if someone formats a USB stick with one of these filesystems and then places the Ubuntu images on them for use with loopback. I do not think it is justifiable to change the images to include other filesystem drivers at this point of the release cycle.
