What is the problem? The -bf versions are either not dangerous, or the
conflict with their big brothers which are essential (like e2fsprogs),
so they cannot be installed unless the user has been warned explicitely.
And even then, some people maybe want to install the reduced-size
packages because of small harddisk or so (like parted-bf).

Gruss/Regards,
Eduard.
