Bug Description

Multiple other manpages in the package reference this program, and some of the functionality of the XFS filesystem is only availible through it. I believe that it was included in a previous package version, as it shows up in the list obtained from `apropos xfs`

xfsctl is an interface, not an application; note that it is in section 3 of
the manual, which is for C library functions:

XFSCTL(3) XFSCTL(3)

NAME
       xfsctl - control XFS filesystems and individual files

C SYNOPSIS
       #include <xfs/xfs.h>

       int xfsctl(const char *path, int fd, int cmd, void *ptr);

Closing as Invalid per Debian. This is an interface, not an executable program.
