btrfs-progs not so optional dependency on reiserfsprogs

Not sure how long it is broken but btrfs-convert immediately crashes with

    btrfs-convert: error while loading shared libraries: libreiserfscore.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

when reiserfsprogs is not installed. There is likely a similar issue with e2fsprogs missing (not tested by me).

Maybe this can be easily resolved by adjusting the build process or the dependency could be made non-optional.

Cheers!

Re: btrfs-progs not so optional dependency on reiserfsprogs

 e2fsprogs (optional) - btrfs-convert
 reiserfsprogs (optional) - btrfs-convert

Which means they are required to be installed for btrfs-convert one of the eight binaries the btrfs-progs package provides.
