The big thing here is there needs to be a BIG FAT WARNING that if you
want ext4 to work, it's best to make sure fsck is built against the
very latest blkid library.

I was thinking about using opensuse for more of testing, based on
Markus's encouragement, but given that it's using vol_id, and I need
to make some very specific changes so that mount uses the right
filesystem for ext4 filesystems (especially since the kernel will be
changing the filesystem name from ext4dev to ext4 at some point in the
next few months), and opensuse uses vol_id for mount, that became a
show-stopper for me.
