Package: dosfstools
Version: 2.11-2.2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

please include a hint in the long description field that this package
provides not just fsck.msdos but also fsck.vfat (even though it's just a
symlink). Reason is that with the package not installed, fsck complains
with the following message on a vfat partition:

# fsck /dev/mmcblk0p1 
fsck 1.40-WIP (07-Apr-2007)
fsck: fsck.vfat: not found
fsck: Error 2 while executing fsck.vfat for /dev/mmcblk0p1

If the user then does e.g. "apt-cache search vfat", the package does not
appear in the search results and he might be confused.

Thanks for considering!

Martin
