Control: severity -1 important Control: retitle -1 xen-tools: should recommend e2fsprogs

There's a difference nevertheless: ext3/ext4 are the default file systems used by xen-tools. So the according tools should be pulled in by default, too. > My conclusion is thus that adding e2fsprogs to Suggests seem to be > the proper fix. Due to being the default file system, it should be "Recommends".
