Seems e2label is only used if the --systemimage command line option
was passed. Makes me think a strict dependency might not be required.
Either a Recommends or Depends on e2fsprogs is possibly useful though.

This file only mentions e2fsck in a code comment that talks about what
initramfs-tools is up to. Not sure if what the comment says is true,
but if it is then initramfs-tools should have the dependencies it needs
in place. (There's also already an open bug report against
initramfs-tools .... see #887211)

Would be great to hear the maintainers view on this!
