Yes, I know, Phill,

I think the period of intense development of features is ending now. So
there will be a period of fine-tuning and finding bugs by testing
special cases (particularly in the new module for persistence).

It is time to think about packaging into the debian repo. I did read the
instructions for it some months ago, and it seems really overwhelming. I
really need guidance for this, or maybe someone who takes mkusb as
his/hers and manages it. I can still do testing and debugging, of course.

Best regards
Nio
