Does "only breaks mke2fs" mean it doesn't affect mkfs.ext3?  The path seems
to suggest that it affects the library, which would seem to imply mkfs.ext3
is also affected; which would also seem to break the installer in the
default configuration.  That sounds RC to me.

Though hopefully it doesn't affect the version in testing at least, given
that no one has reported the bug before now...
