But, if the Debian Release team would like to override my position, my suggestion would be to just change the default for /etc/mke2fs.conf for *everyone* running Debian bookworm, and with the understanding that this will be reverted in Debian testing after the next stable release, and that moving forward, we make it the image building tools problem if they want to support this highly dubious practice of using Debian N+X's mkfs to build images for Debian N.
The Release Team discussed this topic in their IRC meeting of this evening. I would like to affirm your position as a maintainer of e2fsprogs to make this kind of changes in your package and that's up to image builders to cope with that. However, because of the *timing* of the change we ask you to revert the change of the default settings for bookworm and please enable them once trixie opens.
For future default changes, consider planning them before the transition freeze.
Thanks Paul
