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.
