I'm not aware of any packages. I'm also not too familiar with the debian
package process, but I'd have thought the easiest starting point would
be their package:

http://packages.debian.org/source/testing/libstatgrab

And just make the change you need. The simplest change would just be to
add ext4 to that define above.
