Package: dd
Version: 8.25
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Ran a dd cloning command and request progress.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
kill -USR1 <PID>
* What was the outcome of this action?
It produces a report of its progress with MB sizes larger than the SI
units (MiB).
* What outcome did you expect instead?
The reverse. SI units sizes should be larger because X bytes / 1,048,576
(for Megabytes) is going to be smaller than X bytes / 1,000,000 (for
Mibibytes).

You have the definitions of Mega and Mebi reversed.
