This shouldn't have been uploaded to unstable without first getting
permission from the Debian Release team (and preferably me --- it
would have been nice if you had asked me before uploading the NMU)
since e2fsprogs is part of the installer, so getting it unblocked and
into wheezy takes special action and coordination between the Debian
Release and Installer teams.
Personally, I don't believe this shouldn't have been marked as a
serious bug at all in the first place, since it is about a removing a
legacy symlink that is only an issue for systems installed earlier
than Lenny. But at the end of the day, the extra work that this
dealing with this now, as opposed to post-Wheezy, is going to be
dumped on the Debian Release and Installer team, so I'll let them
decide if they think this is worth dealing with now.
