Indeed. Backup / restore partition table should probably be a separate function in the first place... But for now, asking the user what to do in /AMBR might be a good idea. There could also be an option /AMBRWITHTABLE which does not ask and which does include those 4 partition table entries which are part of the MBR file from the user... Note that such functions let the user shoot his own foot. I hope you can reach the Fdisk maintainer to discuss this.
