fsck.ext4 is not present in the initramfs, probably because
initramfs-tools was installed before e2fsprogs. Unfortunately, we
cannot simply make initramfs-tools depend on the appropriate package
because it depends on which filesystem is used for root.
vmdebootstrap should install the kernel last so that all programs that
may be wanted in the initramfs will be available when the initramfs is
built.
But also, a fsck failure because fsck.<type> is missing should not be
fatal.
