Yes, this works, as long as we make sure every single filesystem and
size stanza in /etc/mke2fs.conf overrides each other completely.
Hmm.... Actually, as it's currently specified, it's not completely
true that a later parameter completely overrides a later one. The one
it's not true for is the "features" profile knob, where each specific
filesystem called e2p_edit_features(), so that one particular features
knob is cumulative.
Given that I think my previous proposal of overriding -t is probably
the better one, and concuptally simpler to understand and document.
