   Theodore Tso's reply didn't make it to the mailing-list, I guess
because he may not have subscribed to it, so here it is.

  It's seems that the backport is safe, so if someone could please
review and upload those packages ? Thank you very much.

I do a lot of testing before releases e2fsprogs releases, and 1.39
fixes a lot of bugs.  So I think it would be safe to include it in
backports.
