While testing my fix for this, I noticed that this whole system breaks in the alternate/server installer as of Intrepid because we use conv=notrunc and that's disabled in busybox dd. We could remove conv=notrunc, but that would cause problems for Wubi installations.

This problem does not exist in Hardy, where conv=notrunc was always supported in busybox dd regardless of configuration; at some point in between it was made a configuration option and we neglected to notice and turn it on.
