Thinking about this again, using "erase": "zero" might not actually be
what we want here. For usb-creator it's not really necessary to actually
write zeros over the entire device, just to clear up all partition and
file system signatures. Hence this should rather call Format() with
type=empty. If someone actually wants to cleanly wipe a device, then
using Disks instead of usb-creator is certainly appropriate.
