Wouldn't forcing util-linux to cast before e2fsprogs fix this? Or perhaps making one trigger the other... e2fsprogs should trigger util-linux if I understand right.
I'm not in favour of downgrading since this is a case of upstream moving something to where it should have been all along. e2fsprogs contain{s,ed} several filesystem-independant libraries which should be moved to util-linux or some other such package.
