installing e2fsprogs causes xvda to become xvda1?

On my little EBS-backed AMI, I noticed that installing e2fsprogs meant I
needed to change my fstab.

The line that works on multiple reboots without e2fsprogs:

/dev/xvda / ext4 relatime 1 1

After installing e2fsprogs, I need to change it to:

/dev/xvda1 / ext4 relatime 1 1


Err...so, yeah.  I opened a bug report
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=669564

Anyone have thoughts though?  Why did e2fsprogs-libs not get installed as
part of group Base?  Why does installing it mean I need to add a 1 to
/dev/xvda?  Why does uninstalling e2fsprogs and e2fsprogs-libs, after
successfully booting it after adding the 1, still work even with the 1 left
on?  Why is Thanksgiving always on a Thursday?
