Nope, there isn't much rationale unless we also split out fsck, so
that people who don't want to use any ext 2/3/4 filesystems don't need
to install programs like e2fsck, mke2fs, libext2fs.so, etc.
The main reason why Debian did was more out of code wanking reasons
than anything else, as far as I know....
