Currently, libblockdev has inputs which aren't used.

These SHOULD be used, but the source files are not patched
so the executables in the inputs are not found or used.

Example:

* libblockdev depends on dosfstools because src/plugins/fs/vfat.c would use
"mkfs.vfat" etc, but src/plugins/fs/vfat.c is not patched to actually refer
to the inputs.

This problem is valid for everything in src/plugins/fs .

Do we proceed to patch it to use the inputs or do we move dosfstools etc
to propagated-inputs ?

I'd suggest the former.
