I've asked upstream to have a look at this, and am waiting for a new upstream release to check if the problem still exist there. The upstream CVS is a bit unstable (and I believe they are moving away from the sourceforge CVS), so I have not been able to fetch the current upstream source.
I've also talked to Theodore Y. Ts'o, the e2fsprogs developer to find out if he plan to integrate or implement a tool lie ext2prepare in that package. It is not high on his priority list, so it might not happen soon. In my view ext2prepare is the only vital piece of software, and I would very much like to have it working, but am not able to spend the time required to fix it myself. I hope someone will come up with working patches soon, to avoid this package being removed from the archive (ref <URL:http://lists.debian.org/debian-qa/2006/04/msg00067.html>).
