The templates match could be considered a false positive. The
boxbackup-server.config match on the other hand is guarded with
a check for tune2fs existance, but unfortunately because of broken
shell quoting it will likely not work as intended.
(Atleast in my tests 'if [ -x $EMPTYORUNSET ]' evaluates to true.)

I'm attaching a patch that both fixes the quoting (in several more
places than just the one mentioned above) and also adds e2fsprogs
to recommends (but suggests might also work).

I'm not uploading this since boxbackup has other bugs (including RC)
which should also be investigated..... (and if boxbackup is getting
removed from buster because of unfixed RC bugs there's no point in
fixing this one either...)

If someone cares for boxbackup they should adopt the package. (It
atleast seems to be actively maintained upstream.)
