Please sync e2fsprogs (main) from Debian unstable (main).

Explanation of the Ubuntu delta and why it can be dropped:
Our delta was a workaround for bug #131201. Upstream now provides a different workaround and the Debian package makes sure that the workaround gets enabled in Ubuntu.

Changelog since current hardy version 1.40.2-1ubuntu1:

e2fsprogs (1.40.3-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * New upstream release

      malloc().  Fixes security issue related to Xen's pygrub: CVE-2007-5497
  * libss: Fix parallel build failure
  * e2fsprogs: fix blkid whole-disk scanning heuristics
  * libext2fs: Fix a corner case bug in ext2fs_unlink
  * fix check_mntent_file() to pass mode for open(O_CREAT)

  * Don't crash if s_inode_size is zero
  * Use sscanf instead of atoi when parsing e2fsck options

      translations from the Translation Project.  (Closes: #411562)

  * Make sure $prefix/etc is created before installing mke2fs.conf
  * e2fsck: Allow i_size to be rounded up to the size of a VM page
  * Fix a bug in ext2fs_initialize() which causes mke2fs to fail while
       allocating inode tables for some relatively rare odd disk sizes.
  * Fix big-endian byte-swapping bug in ext2fs_swap_inode_full()
