Maybe you could try reimplementing (some) of that as a shell script
using dd. That way, you'd cut down on the packaging overhead. Also, if
there's more stuff like that, it might eventually be worth considering

using dd. That way, you'd cut down on the packaging overhead. Also, if
there's more stuff like that, it might eventually be worth considering

Oh! You are right, this works. But unfortunatly this behavior is not
explained clearly in my manpage :-( Only a flag "notrunc" is mentioned:

Is something so trivial worth packaging? It sounds like it doesn't do
anything that dd doesn't.
