This bug does not occur when upgrading from sarge. The version of
e2fsprogs
shipped with sarge is 1.37-2sarge1, not 1.35-6. Upgrading to etch
directly
=66rom pre-releases of sarge is not supported; you should upgrade to a
clean
version of sarge before upgrading to testing again.

This is definitely not recommended.
