Some parts are still present (chattr.c, lsattr.c, fsck).
You can take that part of old_e2fsprogs in busybox tree which you
really can't live without, put it back one directory higher,
debloating it in the process.
A lot of bitching about maintainers is optional part of exercise.
Then send a patch to bbox mailing list.
