Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mac-fdisk

This may be more of a feature request.

mac-fdisk should be available for other architectures. If you need to
prepare a USB memory stick for installing Linux on a Mac, the stick
needs to be formatted as a Mac boot disk. For this you need mac-fdisk.
Which is only available for Mac. So unless you already have Linux
installed on your Mac, you're stuck. Luckily, downloading the package
source and building the package works reasonably well: While the
packaging process fails, a working mac-fdisk executable is built.

Making the binary package available for other platforms would save users
that trouble.

** Affects: mac-fdisk (Ubuntu)
