Bug #62831 bug describes a situation where data is truncated if it is of a specific length, namely 4Gb -1 byte. dosfschk incorrectly truncates the file causing data loss on a FAT partition.
The fix for the bug is applied to the same source version as is released under edgy and is also the same as is released under feisty.
I suspect that this should also be released to edgy, thus making this an update for both dapper and edgy users. Dapper being the more important as an LTS release IMHO.
