A Suggests won't help anyway.

I see that mkfs.ext* is used in systemd-makefs. This is a swecial
feature though imho doesn't warrant a hard dependency though.
After all, we don't hard-depend on the other mkfs.* implementations either.


It's also used in the test-suite:
> test/test-functions:    # mkfs.reiserfs doesn't know -L. so, use --label instead
> test/test-functions:    if ! mkfs -t "${FSTYPE}" ${_label} "${LOOPDEV}p1" -q; then
> test/test-functions:        dfatal "Failed to mkfs -t ${FSTYPE}"
> test/test-efi-create-disk.sh:mkfs.vfat -F32 ${LOOP}p1
> test/TEST-02-CRYPTSETUP/test.sh:    mkfs.ext4 -L var /dev/mapper/varcrypt

It needs to be checked, if those tests are run during build (in which
case we need a Build-Depends: e2fsprogs <!nocheck>) and/or if they are
run by the autopkgests, in which case it needs to be added to
debian/tests/control)
