As the subject says, the README does not say that I need to install dosfstools,
only that I need a kernel with msdos support.

boot-floppies (2.2.3) unstable; urgency=low
* busybox: updated to 0.40; fix logger; remove free (use lazybox free
instead, which is better)
* dbootstrap: 'expert' boot argument skips some annoying confirmation
dialog boxes; fix kbdconfig dialog being too big; fix the 'list'
archive selection method for installing kernel; more debugging and
informative messages piped to syslog; on i386, install mbr using
/sbin/install-mbr; for m68k, fix keyboards; when doing 'list' method
of disk or mounted archive location selection, just do it if we only
have one possibility
* root: add lazybox 'man' command, reminding users to install man-db pkg
* debian/copyright: remove old FSF address; add/re-organize busybox,
lowmemrd, dbootstrap copyright information (lintian)
* debian/control: standards version 3.1.1; depend on gcc, file; change
priority to extra
* debian/rules: debhelperify; binary package contains the tarball
/usr/src/boot-floppies.tar.gz, rather than the unpacked files in
/usr/src/boot-floppies/
* i18n: Hungarian, Russian, French, Portuguese updates
* powerpc: add amiga-fdisk to base and root
* close bugs from last release (closes: Bug#52073, Bug#41193, Bug#30959)
* we split root/boot now, maybe we'll do initrd or some such for woody,
but lets close this bug (closes: Bug#40160)
* README clarifications (closes: Bug#41189)
