[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#379340: inappropriate dependency on e2fsprogs

I assume you talk about the initscripts dependency on e2fsprogs (>=
1.32+1.33-WIP-2003.04.14-1).  How do you know that initscripts do not
need e2fsprogs?

I am unsure why the dependency is there in the first place, and fail
to find anything in the changelog.  Because of this, I am reluctant to
change it.
