If ext* is no longer the default, I agree that a recommends might be
more suitable.

Would be great if you could have this fixed ASAP. If you're busy
feel free to just ask for help with a non-maintainer upload in
the meantime and I'll make it happen.

I would say it should rather be a Recommends. The old default container
image format was based on ext3. It's still supported, but it's just one
of a few possible options.

If that's no problem to you, we can go ahead and make it happen.

Thanks and regards

Looks to me like there should be a dependency added here for sure.

Would be great to hear from the maintainers on this!
