** Also affects: coreutils

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: coreutils
  
  Some distributions and *nix operating systems support the 'dd
  conv=sparse' method for writing to block devices sparsely (using seek()
  to pass over large areas of nulls).  This appears the sparseness of a
  filesystem image to be carried through when writing to an underlaying
  sparse storage device (eg. over iSCSI).
