I'm gathering there is no way to 'fix' filesystem transfer and honestly don't see it being that useful in common senarios.

If there is occasion for a rebuild before release it would make sense to revert the default to no.
No big deal either way though people have gotten used to no inc. --fstrans=no in their command

note that users are also free to adjust that or any other default setting in /etc/checkinstallrc
