It uses fds.

BTW review of the dpkg and kernel patches would be quite welcome.
Both are simple, or so I hope.  I would like to send another version
or the dpkg patch with sync-per-filesystem enabled unconditionally
when it works on Linux (thus no string changes) and
fsync_or_sync_filesystem implemented in a separate file; if there are
other updates to include at the same time, that would be nice.

Jonathan
