Does this have significant advantages over these tools that are already
in the archive and likely to be near-ubiquitous on GNU systems?
* od -t x1 (part of coreutils, and a subset of its functionality is
standardized in POSIX)
* hd, aka hexdump (part of bsdmainutils)
* xxd (part of vim-common)
I personally prefer xxd, because it gives reasonable output (hex +
ASCII) without requiring special command-line options, and can also be
used "in reverse" to patch or create binaries from hex input.

That's not much of an advantage in a binary distribution like Debian.
xxd can adjust this at runtime with the -c/-cols command-line option.
