I can upload a version of Yaboot today with this patch reverted provided that Yaboot still builds fine on unstable without the hack you used.

I call it a hack, but really this is the best long term solution there
is. Yaboot is filled with empty stub, that one had to add over and
over. Using a fixed version of e2fslib made the symptoms go away.
Please check with milan@d.o for the gory details, hopefully I am not
too far from the reality. I would not spent any time on yaboot anyway.

If I need to hack e2fslib to get Yaboot to build, then I can not easily
update the Yaboot package. e2fslib is a package in the archives, I can't
just hijack the package and add some hacks to get a bootloader for a non-
release architecture fixed.
