I use grub, and have my /boot partition on ext2. The rest is on rieser
(using SuSE). To use a journaling fs the partition needs to be at least
100 MB to make room for the journal or the install routine complains.
That may be what you're bumping into with Debian, but it's just not
explaining it as clearly as the SuSE install routine does. I didn't
want to burn that much space so I set the /boot partition to ext2 and it
works a treat...
