While it was possible to make it work with e2fslibs 1.42.2 with some patching, linking to any later version won't work. It is probably not worth investing any more time and efforts to maintain this package. I would rather spend my Debian time to help bring grub-ieee1275 into Stretch d-i than to continue reanimating this dead animal. While there is a valid rationale to ask FTP Masters to remove Yaboot package from sid, I'm tagging this bug with 'help' to give a chance for possible takers to provide help or take it over. Milan
