A *very quick* search suggests we might have been ready for that for 20+
years:

    partman-ext3 (8) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Anton Zinoviev
        - apt-install e2fsprogs when ext3 is used.
    […]

And current finish.d/aptinstall_ext3 implements this, when ext3 or ext4
is detected.

Meanwhile:

    partman-basicfilesystems (10) unstable; urgency=low
    
      * Anton Zinoviev
        - apt-install e2fsprogs when ext2 is used
    […]
     -- Anton Zinoviev <zinov...@debian.org>  Fri, 20 Feb 2004 18:59:50 +0200

And current finish.d/aptinstall_basicfilesystems implements support for
ext2 (only).


You might want to wait a few days in case someone raises an objection,
but it looks to me things are rather good already; and we can keep an
eye out in case there are any fallouts, now that we know you're about
to process that override, thanks!


Cheers,
