The e2fsprogs in git has been updated with a newer version of
imap_err.et that has a DFSG compliant copyright.

lib/et/testcases: checked in imap_err.et from cyrus-imapd version 2.5.10

This version of imap_err.et has a 4-clause BSD license, which should
hopefully be more comforting to lawyers than the license with
prohibits non-commercial use --- which shouldn't be a problem since
it's in a test case that would never show up in any binary, and so
license compatibility wouldn't be an issue.

I was planning on getting a new version of e2fsprogs (1.43.4) out this
week.  An upload before this hard freeze next week should address this
bug.

Hi Ted,

I am currently sat at the Cambridge BSP looking at Debian RC bugs [1].

Looking at this bug report we believe that on balance the best course of
action would be to remove lib/et/test_cases/imap_err.et from e2fsprogs.
As you have offered to do this in your capacity as "upstream" [2]
may we please ask you to do this at your earliest opportunity.
Would you mind performing this as an atomic operation as this would make
the process of freeze exception straight forwards.

Many thanks in advance,
/Andy
