I find I get better responses in bugzilla if I don't nuke the entire template
when filing the initial bug (I realise that you only commented on this BZ and
didn't file it but that's my experience nonetheless).

Also, given the triviality that you point out a patch in the bug wouldn't go
amiss I'm sure (fwiw e2fsprogs uses hardlinks for these files and dosfstools
uses symlinks).

One possible reason for the reluctance to change this however may be that the
tool is not yet considered mature enough to be glued into the bigger fsck/fsck.*
infrastructure - I can't speak for the btrfs folks but this seems reasonable
given that btrfsck is considered experimental at the moment (and mkfs.btrfs
exists..).

Regards,
Bryn.
