E2fsprogs 1.44.0 now depends on dpkg build-profiles, which means that getting it backported to 14.04 LTS would require adjusting debian/control and debian/rules a bit. For 14.04 LTS, I'd urge consideration of going to e2fsprogs 1.43.9. This will get you most of the latest bug fixes, including some that could cause massive file system corruption and data loss (relative to e2fsprogs 1.42.x) in the right (wrong) circumstances.
