The tune2fs usage is to be found in the code at:
https://sources.debian.org/src/spacefm/1.0.5-2/src/settings.c/#L10724

At the same place you'll also find other commands like
mlabel (from mtools), /sbin/ntfslabel (from ntfs-3g), /sbin/btrfs (which
no package in Debian ships but btrfs-progs ships /bin/btrfs !!!),
/sbin/reiserfstune (from reiserfsprogs), /usr/bin/udevil (from udevil),
etc.

Except for udevil which is listed in Suggests, none of the others
are mentioned in current package relationships.

All of them seems to be used to populate some developer menu which
makes me think they might not be part of the normal use for this
application:
https://sources.debian.org/src/spacefm/1.0.5-2/src/settings.c/#L10636

My conclusion is thus that it seems fairly safe to guess that at most
it might be warranted to put e2fsprogs in Suggests. Possibly just
closing the bug report with no other action taken.

Would be great to hear from maintainer(s) if they think my conclusion
sounds reasonable.
