In order to sanitize e2fsprogs to be DFSG free, the file

draft-leach-uuids-guids-01.txt has been removed. It can be obtained

by downloading e2fsprogs from the upstream sources. It may also be

available from other sites on the network, if you do a quick web

search for the string "draft-leach-uuids-guids-01".

Note that debian/rules is set up to include the file on Ubuntu

systems, so for people trying to build e2fsprogs on Ubuntu systems,

they should start from the upstream sources, and not the

Debian-expurgated sources found in the Debian repository. (n.b., for

WIP releases the command "./util/gen-tarball ubuntu" will help create

tar file which is appropriately named to make life easier for

dpkg-buildpackage.) Since Ubuntu doesn't have the DFSG restrictions,

the documentation which has been removed for Debian's DFSG license

purity shouldn't be denied to Ubuntu users.
