badblocks is also linked against libext2fs.

Debian supports (or rather will probably support) three init systems:

 * systemd does not use logsave to save the fsck log if /var/log is not
   mounted yet, but instead "just pipes the stdout of fsck to syslog
   which ends up in dmesg if syslog is not yet running" (thanks to
   whoever explained this in #systemd).

 * sysvinit and upstart depend on the package initscripts, which depends
   on sysvinit-utils.


logsave does not use any libraries except libc.  Provided that Ted Ts'o
agrees, please consider moving logsave to sysvinit-utils.


Regards
Carsten

P.S.: There is already a bug about essentialness filed against
      e2fsprogs: #474540

Closing, since (as mentioned in thread), sysvinit-utils is candidate for
dropping Essential flag.
