package: e2fsprogs
severity: critical
justification: breaks the entire system

When booting my quemu armel system I get the following

Checking root file system...fsck from util-linux-ng 2.16.1
/dev/sda1: Superblock last mount time (Thu Jan  1 01:03:11 1970,
       now = Thu Jan  1 01:00:52 1970) is in the future.


/dev/sda1: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
       (i.e., without -a or -p options)
fsck died with exit status 4
failed (code 4).
An automatic file system check (fsck) of the root filesystem failed. A manual fsck must be performed, then the system restarted. The fsck should be performed in maintenance mode with the root filesystem mounted in read-only mode. ... failed! The root filesystem is currently mounted in read-only mode. A maintenance shell will now be started. After performing system maintenance, press CONTROL-D to terminate the maintenance shell and restart the system. ... (warning).

Running fsck manually results in no errors but on rebooting I get the above again.

It seems that some fairly recent change (I dunno exactly when, since I boot and update the system infrequently) has turned last mount time in the future from a warning to an error. This renders any system that does not have a usable rtc (like the aforementioned qemu armel system) unbootable.
