bug#24217: dd - root partition security

rm / # do not remove root partition
rm -f / will remove root partition

In my opinion:

dd of=/dev/sda # will destroy sda even if it is a root partition, it should not dd -f of=/dev/sda # -f flag do not exists for dd, it should be added so it can force a write if the previous step is implemented


Please leave feedback.
