I've had a look at the creator.py and it contains the following code:
if self.fstype in ('vfat', 'msdos'):
try:
self.popen('/sbin/dosfslabel %s %s' % (
self.drive['device'], self.label))
except TailsInstallerError:
# dosfslabel returns an error code even upon success
pass
else:
self.popen('/sbin/e2label %s %s' % (self.drive['device'],
Given that dosfslabel is part of dosfstools which is already a dependency
it seems natural to also add e2fsprogs as a dependency. Please see patch
attached for your convenience.

Well, it's all volunteer work.... but "ASAP" is an ambition.
Hopefully a trivial change like the one needed here will not
need a very long turn over time to get fixed.
Likely someone<tm> will have to do non-maintainer uploads (or request
removals) for the remaining packages where the maintainer doesn't take
care of it to be able to reach the goal....

Andreas Henriksson
