5 Ah, found it (sys-fs/ddrescue, not sys-fs/dd-rescue) and it actually
6 does all the stuff that dd-rhelp does.
7 I guess in that case it's a good idea to let dd-rhelp go (probably
8 with a note to people like me who aren't aware that ddrescue does the
9 same job these days).
10 Thank you for the information.
