	Remy Card (the implementor of the ext2 filesystem) said a while back 
on fr.comp.os.linux that this software will probably not be updated to a 
long time. Also this "tool" is potentially dangerous (segfaulted twice on 
me while defragmenting a partition).

	So, if nobody really _maintain_ this package (I do not mean Debian 
packaging here, I mean _real_ maintainance) I suggest we drop this 
package..
