Dear Maintainer,

fdisk --wipe
 
- created bootable live Debian using dd
- wanted to create add'l partition for storing data (sdb3)
- previously (deb 10) used fdisk with --wipe=never option, worked successfully
- previous version 2.34 worked as expected, current version 2.36 does not 
honour the --wipe option
- according to man 8 fdisk, --wipe is still an option
- my workaround was to build a VM (old Debian) and perform the work there 
(successfully)
- keep up the good work!

David Barber
