[email protected] has discussed the removal of e2fsprogs from essential. The
next step in doing so is allowing dependencies on e2fsprogs. Then we can
MBF the remaining packages to add those dependencies. Thus lintian needs
to stop complain about such dependencies. The attached patch implements
that. Please consider applying it.
