Should be fixed now.

Problem was that incredibly we never had an explicit dep on e2fsprogs,
even though of course we use programs like mke2fs extensively.
Instead it was being pulled in through an implicit dep.

Since e2fsprogs was split into e2fsprogs / e2fsprogs-libs, whatever
package we implicitly relied on before now only depends on
e2fsprogs-libs, and so we didn't get e2fsprogs at all.

The solution was to add an explicit dependency.
