Hi,
I would like to propose including clonezilla [1][2] in the installation media. It provides an ncurses menu for backing up and restoring partitions/disks using partclone, which is already included (I maintain both).
As well as being a small and useful tool, I have another motive for getting it added.
Clonezilla currently offer live media iso files of Debian and Ubuntu-based operating systems running clonezilla. By including clonezilla in our installation media they are happy to add it as an alternative version, offering an Arch-based iso that you can run clonezilla on.
Are there any objections to this?
Thanks,

If [1] and [2] is the list of the packages included on the iso, the only packages that need to be added are bc 86.8 KB clonezilla 906.7 KB * drbl 1.1 MB * pigz 64.1 KB sshfs 30.1 KB
I marked clonezilla and drbl with '*' as they are architecture-independent packages - arch=('any'). The package size of these 8 [3] packages is ~2.5 MB.
