Re: bin/52432: /etc/dumpdates format egregious

[Robert Elz <kre%munnari.OZ.AU@localhost>]

I think this discussion has drifted away from the point, just rest
assured that nothing I am considering will have any effect on anything
related to restore (or restoresymtab) (by which I do not mean that there
are no improvements possible, just none I can think of at the minute...)

All I am considering (and have been for years, while doing nothing about
it, so...) is altering the format/location of the dumpdates file to make
it a better fit for the way dumps are done today, rather that the way they
were done in 1979 (or whenever) - which will (almost certainly) mean getting
rid of 500 bytes of meaningless space padding that has no useful purpose,
and was the subject of the PR.
