Summary:                    e2fsprogs installs duplicate binaries instead of
symlinking
Description: 
e2fsprogs install several duplicate binaries that act slightly differently
depending on what name they're called as. They can safely be removed and
replaced with symlinks. This saves 480kb space.

fsck.ext2 == fsck.ext3 == e2fsck
e2label == tune2fs == findfs
mkfs.ext2 == mkfs.ext3 == mke2fs

I've attached a patch which fixes this.
