Hi, in the case of e2fsprogs, the Debian maintainer === the upstream
maintainer, and so I'm very well aware of these patches.

Note, however that....
1) These patches will not enter e2fsprogs upstream with some
significant changes, which I am currently working on, and
2) These patches are not enough to enable e2fsprogs check Lustre
filesystems. Clusterfs maintains their own set of changes that goes
beyond this set of patches. These patches are designed to get the
Lustre tree closer in sync with e2fsprogs, but is not sufficient for
e2fsprogs to check Lustre filesystems.
