Bug Description
When a clean Ubuntu Edgy Server is installed, and XFS partitions are used, the package that provides fsck.xfs is not installed.
So when fsck is done for all of the filesystems that are about to get mounted, it prints an error that says:
(from a couple of lines up to provided context)
* Checking file systems...
fsck 1.39 (29-May-2006)
fsck: cannot check /dev/hda2: fsck.xfs not found
fsck: cannot check /dev/hda5: fsck.xfs not found
/dev/hda1: clean, 30/48192 files, 14138/96358 blocks
The installer is not failing, and not even the boot process, but like it is right now, if the filesystem gets slightly corrupted and the server is rebooted for some reason, no fsck will be performed at each boot, so that might lead to some serious corruption or other problems.
Please let me know what testing would be useful.

Thanks. This was due to the server-ship seed being broken and missing out xfsprogs, among others, so the xfsprogs package wasn't on the server CD; I've fixed this for Feisty now.

add filesystems and fonts from ship to server-ship (LP: #90173)
The package that provides fsck.xfs is xfsprogs.
