The mkfs.ext4 command is used in the following two places: https://sources.debian.org/src/python-cgcloud/1.6.0-1/core/src/cgcloud/core/cloud_init_box.py/#L117 https://sources.debian.org/src/python-cgcloud/1.6.0-1/core/src/cgcloud/core/cloud_init_box.py/#L137 As can be seen the code also uses commands from the following packages without declaring any package relationship towards them: mount: mount mdadm: mdadm initramfs-tools: update-initramfs etc... Given none of the other commands are listed anywhere, there doesn't seem to be a big need to be explicit about just e2fsprogs. Possibly a bigger package review is needed to find and explicitly note the relationship to other packages, or maybe there simply isn't any need for the affected code..... Feedback from maintainers on this would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Andreas Henriksson
