Package: dump
Version: 0.4b49-2
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Deb12 has dump 0.4b47-4, and Deb13 has currently 0.4b49-2.

I'm running an automated backup script for years:

https://github.com/PoC-dev/backup

Scenario:
Dump written on Deb12 with dump -0a -b 256 -f - /dev/...

(I'm using 256k blocks for performance reasons, and because I write those dump
files to tape with dd.)

Then access such a file locally with restore -i -b 256 -f ...

The only way to restore files from dumps is to install the old dump package.
