-b behaviour is unchanged though? ;-)

Serious, can you convert to mcopy like Darren does in the patch for the
live image code? There are some seriously nasty bugs in that -d option
and since there is an easy replacement, I'm going to agree we should
drop the dosfstools patches. I'm not going to take it immediately to
give people a chance to make alternative arrangements but I do think its
going to be the best move going forwards.
