-O none is redundant here. e2fsprogs 1.19 gets it right without -O (by looking
at -o).

It's an extremely old and extremely broken version on the Debian ftp
archive. Use the apt you find at alpha.gnu.org/gnu/hurd/debian/.
The next official apt version (> 0.3.19) will probably have all my fixes and
can go into the Debian archive proper.

Well, point the above apt at your Debian mirror and you are ready. But be
aware that we are in a state of flux, and don't always get the Dependencies
under Control. Sometimes its okay to --force-conflicts or --force-depends
(dpkg 1.6.999 at alpha.gnu.org is too strict btw, and chokes on almost
everything).
Thanks,
Marcus
