Well, I think its just "e2fsprogs needs (and largely developed) these things
and Ted doesn't want external package dependencies".  There isn't a strong
reason to have them in a single package, especially as you say there are
more external packages that begin to depend on them, and e2fsprogs
(the libext2fs, e2fsck, etc. part) shouldn't necessarily be a "required"
package.
