It indeed seems like gfxboot will launch both mkfs.ext[23] and tune2fs when the filesystem is ext2 or ext3 (while ext4 falls under 'unsupported filesystem'). https://sources.debian.org/src/gfxboot/4.5.2-1.1-5/gfxboot/#L382 Apart from ext2/ext3 gfxboot also seems to support reiserfs (but not reiser4), xfs and fat filesystems but there's no package relationship specified to any of reiserfsprogs, xfsprogs or dosfstools either. Would be great to hear from maintainers if all of them missing is a mistake or if maybe there's no need for a relationship against e2fsprogs either. Regards, Andreas Henriksson
