Summary

0001341: e2fsprogs installs duplicate binaries instead of symlinking

Description

e2fsprogs install several duplicate binaries that act slightly differently depending on what name they're called as. They can safely be removed and replaced with symlinks. This saves 480kb space.

fsck.ext2 == fsck.ext3 == e2fsck
e2label == tune2fs == findfs
mkfs.ext2 == mkfs.ext3 == mke2fs

I've attached a patch which fixes this.
