Package: dfsbuild
Version: 0.6.17
Severity: wishlist

The syntax for the dfsbuild config file (dfs.cfg) does not allow stanzas
containing blank lines, or the characters [=:]. There is no facility
for escaping special characters.

As a result the [createfiles] and [appendfiles] directive cannot be used
to add arbitrary file content.

Something like a [copyfiles] directive, which copies arbitrary files to
the image, would be an option. It would also handle binary files.
