Thanks for the update. I agree with your view. All (normal) installations will have e2fsprogs installed, so specifying a dependency is (unlike normal case) here basically a way to say "if you explicitly remove e2fsprogs on your stupid embedded system or container, then you must also remove my package" (either for technical or non-technical reasons).
