I agree that this bug as filed doesn't make much sense, but it does point to one that does make sense IMO, which would be adding the two packages mentioned (e2fsprogs and xfsprogs) to Suggests over in docker.io instead (since there are configurations of Docker where it'd be appropriate and necessary to have those packages installed). ♥, - Tianon 4096R / B42F 6819 007F 00F8 8E36 4FD4 036A 9C25 BF35 7DD4
