I will be packaging a new upstream version of vbrfix and uploading it to
experimental. Could you test it to see if it works well in big-endian
machines?

 vbrfix should have an -interactive switch like mv or cp has that asks
 before overwriting any files. That would be pretty helpful, if you ask
 me.

Ok, I will see what I can do and suggest this to upstream. If he can not
implement it, then I will do it myself, now that I've gained contact
with him once again.

Also, extending your idea, two other switches would be interesting to
have, for scriptability:

force: force overwriting files that already exist
skip: don't overwrite files that already exist

Nice idea. Thanks.



Regards,

Hi!

 It would be nice if you could forward this to upstream, it's not a bug
with the Debian packaging but I guess you to be in contact with them. :)

 So long, and thanks for the tool. :)
