The commands are all used in the extfs_mkfs function: https://sources.debian.org/src/fsarchiver/0.8.3-3/src/fs_ext2.c/#L145 Which in turn are called from the ext[234]_mkfs wrapper functions: https://sources.debian.org/src/fsarchiver/0.8.3-3/src/fs_ext2.c/#L92 Those functions are hooked up at: https://sources.debian.org/src/fsarchiver/0.8.3-3/src/filesys.c/#L49 Given that all non-ext* filesystems in that table are listed under Suggests I would guess e2fsprogs should be added to Suggests. (Or possibly promoted as ext being the favourite child to Recommends.) Would be great to hear the maintainers view on this... Regards, Andreas Henriksson
