Package: e2fsprogs
Version: 1.37-2sarge1
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/share/man/man1/chattr.1.gz

       A directory with the ’T’ attribute will be deemed  to  be  the  top  of
       directory  hierarchies  for  the  purposes of the Orlov block allocator
       (which is used in on systems with Linux 2.5.46 or later).

This gives no clue as to what that attribute actually does unless you
either are familiar with kernel internals or have Google handy. From
Google, I gather that it tells the kernel not to cluster the (immediate)
contents of this directory, and thus should be used on things like
/home because /home/bob and /home/tom aren't really related.
