Public bug reported:
As it stands, libguestfs-tools has hard dependency on lots of file system tools:
% sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends libguestfs-tools
[...]
The following NEW packages will be installed:
augeas-lenses btrfs-tools cryptsetup febootstrap jfsutils libaugeas0
libconfig8 libguestfs-perl libguestfs-tools
libguestfs0 libhivex0 libintl-perl libstring-shellquote-perl libsys-virt-perl
libwin-hivex-perl libxml-xpath-perl
ntfsprogs scrub zerofree zfs-fuse
However, as far as I can tell, these are technically recommended
dependencies -- libguestfs just doesn't support certain file systems if
the relevant package is not installed.
The most annoying of these is zfs-fuse, which insists on starting a
hefty daemon by default -- even though most people in a Linux
environment don't want to deal with ZFS file systems. zfs-fuse doesn't
even provide any libraries, so it doesn't make sense as a hard
dependency.
