Providing a static e2fsck ?



Gregory pointed out some days ago that a e2fsck would be useful to
have, to allow for recovery in case of a bad crash.

The problem is how to achieve that.  Here are the points I thought
about:

* the shared e2fsck could probably be dropped from the package, but
I'd like to hear opinions about that.

* the static e2fsck is too large (261472 compared to 62564) to be
installed on the boot disks, and it won't serve anything to have it
static here.

A solution would be to keep the current e2fsprogs package as is (a
split is already planned to spare space on boot disks), and provide an
additionnal "e2fsck-static" package, with a high priority (Required ?).


Any opinions out there ?
