It's better to install a dummy-package than to lock or not to lock the 
old version, that is overwritten by make install, thus a package version 
 > 1.41.11 can be automatically upgrade the currently installed version.

Description: e2fsprogs dummy-package

Checkinstall did build a package, but I fear that it's broken, that's 
why I run ...
# rm e2fsprogs_1.41.11-1_amd64.deb backup-042720102031-pre-e2fsprogs.tgz
... before I go on with building the dummy-package.

# equivs-build e2fsprogs
# dpkg -i e2fsprogs_1.41.11-1_all.deb
# rm e2fsprogs e2fsprogs~

The package e2fslibs is a dependency of e2fsprogs, but e2fsprogs isn't a 
dependency of e2fslibs and e2fslibs-dev.
