Subject: Re: /dev/disk/by-label missing after upgrade to 1.42.7

I have updated our scripts to overwrite only those binaries that
originated from the e2fsprogs package. In our build/CI system it would
be (relatively) hard to build a debian package using fakeroot
dpkg-buildpackages, instead, we run dpkg -S /bin/binary to find if the
package originated in e2fsprogs and if it did, we copy it over,
otherwise not. For now this works, we will pay the technical debt
if/when we need to - chances are this will go away in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
which should have the latest version of e2fsprogs.

Thanks for all the help - specially Eric, Ted and Darrick.
