Package: e2fsprogs Version: 1.45.0-1 Severity: normal Hi!
While I like the new fsck-via-LVM-snapshot feature, I think adding lvm2 to Recommends is too agressive here. On systems not using LVM this will needlessly pull in the whole LVM/DM machinery, including changes to the initramfs, as long as apt is in its default "install-recommends" configuration. Only on systems where the system admin has changed the default to "no-install-recommends" nothing will happen. I argue that you should remove "Recommends: lvm2" again, because systems not using LVM can't use the background-fsck anyway and don't need the additional packages and on systems where LVM is in use, the needed packages are already present.
