Other filesystem specific mount modules has the package for their
respective tools in the Recommends field so I would say that's
where e2fsprogs belongs as well. (But someone might decide to make
it a stronger Depends just because ext is somehow special.)
Additionally the configure script tries to look up the full path
for the tools, so e2fsprogs should likely also be added to
build-depends to make sure the tools are around and can be
detected at build-time.
I'm CCing Laurent Bigonville who has done the previous QA upload
and also has a pending change in the packaging repository hoping
he can upload both of them at the same time.
