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.
