I think you missed the part where I was talking about non-Debian
images. It clearly breaks non-Debian images as well, for example
FreeDOS. Just look at the bug tracker with almost 300 bugs:

        https://bugs.launchpad.net/unetbootin

It's completely broken and just produces headaches for both users
and developers. I don't know why something that is so broken should
be a "tool of choice". What's the point in shipping unetbootin
when half of the boot media it creates are not working properly?
