diskscan would be another good package for the rescue image. It's better
testing tool than badblocks (but I'd still keep badblocks in the image).

I'm pretty sure diskscan is already in the rescue image in 0.36:

0 dkg@alice:~/src/debirf/debirf$ git checkout debirf/0.36
HEAD is now at 5d3a285... debian: add NEWS entry about new package include/exclude
0 dkg@alice:~/src/debirf/debirf$ git grep diskscan
debian/changelog: * added diskscan to rescue (Closes: #803792)
doc/example-profiles/rescue/packages:+diskscan
0 dkg@alice:~/src/debirf/debirf$

--dkg

Ah I thought I remembered seeing it too but it wasn't in git. But I just
checked and the git repo I was pointed at was git://finestructure.net/debirf
which only has up to 0.35. That's the first one listed on the webpage...

git://lair.fifthhorseman.net/~dkg/debirf seems to have 0.36.

Which is canonical?

Anyway I double checked and none of the other suggested additional packages
listed in this bug were in the lair git repo.

debcheckout debirf

points to https://anonscm.debian.org/git/collab-maint/debirf

This was announced on the development mailing list back in May:

A review against the current source would be welcome!
