Fsck and mount (and especially mount) needs to be linked against the
very latest blkid library in order to make sure things work, and when
we spread out packages across the various different packages, it means
updating things to assure correct functionality is that much harder.
It also means getting the right ext4 detection routines into vol_id,
and in the past I've had real problems getting patches that fix real
bugs in vol_id past you, and I'm just too busy right now to deal with
that right now.
