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.
