df & du should honor $BLOCKSIZE

$ du /boot
677     /boot/grub
37917   /boot
$ du -m /boot
1       /boot/grub
38      /boot
$ BLOCKSIZE=1m du /boot
677     /boot/grub
37917   /boot

This seems wrong.  The user setting $BLOCKSIZE presumably intends it to
do exactly what it does on many other systems - provide a default blocksize
to be used by applications that haven't been specifically instructed
otherwise.

This appears to apply also to df.
