Yes, read on. [And you really should have searched freshmeat,
before you made this post]

No you are not -- because Debian 2.2 has not been released! You
are probably using Potato, ...

Description: ext2 minix xiafs file system defragmenter
As a file system is used, data tends to become more and more scattered
over the disk, degrading performance. A disk defragmenter simply
reorganises the data on the disk, so that individual files occupy a
single sequential set of disk blocks, and all the free space on the
disk is collected together in a single region. This generally means
that reading a whole file is more efficient.
