I didn't verify it yet, but AFAICT grml-debootstrap is affected as
well, since it supports installing older Debian releases from within
more recent Debian/Grml environments and uses mkfs.ext4 as default.

BTW, we had a similar situation already in the past when mkfs.ext4
of e2fsprogs >=1.43~WIP.2015.05.18-1 enabled the "metadata_csum"
feature, while this was unsupported on jessie and older releases.
(grml-debootstrap provides a workaround for this.)
