control: tag -1 patch pending
This has been fixed in upstream git, here's the patch. I have checked in
an armhf chroot on harris.debian.org that the patch fixes the problem.
I have made a non-maintainer upload to DELAYED/5.
Cheers,

Subject: [PATCH] mke2fs: use ext2fs_open_file() in check_plausibility()
The commit:
802146c mke2fs: create a regular file if necessary
caused a regression on 32-bit machines; the open() fails if
the file size is > 4G.
Using ext2fs_open_file() fixes it.
