The e2fsprogs in git has been updated with a newer version of
imap_err.et that has a DFSG compliant copyright.

lib/et/testcases: checked in imap_err.et from cyrus-imapd version 2.5.10
This version of imap_err.et has a 4-clause BSD license, which should
hopefully be more comforting to lawyers than the license with
prohibits non-commercial use --- which shouldn't be a problem since
it's in a test case that would never show up in any binary, and so
license compatibility wouldn't be an issue.

I was planning on getting a new version of e2fsprogs (1.43.4) out this
week. An upload before this hard freeze next week should address this
bug.
