Perhaps it would make sense to put /sbin/fsck in its own small essential
package and have it depend on fsck-backend, which *fsprogs can provide.
fsck does link against libext2fs, though ... it uses
ext2fs_find_block_device() to get around a devfs problem. That function
doesn't seem inherently ext2-specific.
