Bug#887241: faumachine-data should depend on e2fsprogs explicitly

[Stefan Potyra]

Hi Helmut and Andreas,

FAUmachine does not depend on e2fsprogs. Andreas is correct with the
found candidates. In this test-case, e2fsprogs is required in the system running
in the VM rather than on the host system.

Cheers,
  Stefan

The package description indicate that FAUmachine is a PC emulatior which
does (hardware related) fault injection and can run a test-suite on a
machine installed from an iso image.

Based on this I would assume the badblocks should be available inside
the emulated machines operating system, rather than on the host where
faumachine is installed. Thus a package relationship might not be
suitable here at all.

Would be great to get some feedback on this from the package maintainer
who hopefully understands what's going on much better than me.
