Tbh, I think this feature should belong into the same package shipping 
mkfs.vfat, i.e. dosfstools.


Andreas, as maintainer of dosfstools, what's your take on this?

Regards,
Michael

Hello,

The libblockdev source package contains two "tools" that are currently
not built.

One for them is "vfat-resize", that looks like an intresting feature to
have?

Kind regards,
