I thought the Debian-Installer would only be using udebs from Testing?
I'm confused how it would be picking up e2fsprogs 1.47.0-1 from
unstable, if it is going to be installing.  Currently e2fsprogs is
blocked from migrating to testing precisely because we didn't want d-i
to be picking up e2fsprogs 1.47.0.

That being said FEATURE_C12 is the orphan_file feature which is only
going to be enabled by default in e2fsprogs 1.47.0.  I'm just really
confused why d-i would be picking up the e2fsprogs udebs from
unstable.
