A Suggests won't help anyway.
I see that mkfs.ext* is used in systemd-makefs. This is a swecial
feature though imho doesn't warrant a hard dependency though.
After all, we don't hard-depend on the other mkfs.* implementations either.
It's also used in the test-suite:

It needs to be checked, if those tests are run during build (in which
case we need a Build-Depends: e2fsprogs <!nocheck>) and/or if they are
run by the autopkgests, in which case it needs to be added to
debian/tests/control)
