[Pkg-privacy-maintainers] Bug#887248: Bug#887248: tails-installer should depend on e2fsprogs explicitly

[Ulrike Uhlig]

Hi Helmut,

Helmut Grohne:
> Package: tails-installer
> Version: 5.0.2+dfsg-1

> We want to make removing e2fsprogs from installations possible. For standard
> installations this is not useful, but embedded applications and chroots benefit
> from such an option.  For getting there all packages that use e2fsprogs must be
> identified and gain a dependency on it as e2fsprogs currently is essential.

I'll investigate that and get back to you asap. Is there a deadline for
this request?

Cheers!
