I think it would be best to make a virtual package called something
like rootfsprogs. Then your dependencies could look like:
xxx depends on rootfsprogs
e2fsprogs provides rootfsprogs
ufsprogs provides rootfsprogs
reiserfsprogs provides rootfsprogs
Oh, did I mention reiserfs? This would probably be a good way to ease
the transition from ext2 to reiser in the main Debian tree. Is anyone
subscribed to debian-devel (which I'm not) willing to propose this? If
not, I'll go do it myself...

I agree with the remark about GCC-3.0 here...

I agree that SysV-style init is definitely one of the defining factors
for a Debian system, so in the long term I'd really like to see it
done. If it's more work than using BSD-init as an interim solution,
though, do that first.
