Title:
  mac-fdisk is only supported on mac platforms

Status in mac-fdisk package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in mac-fdisk package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mac-fdisk

  This may be more of a feature request.

  mac-fdisk should be available for other architectures. If you need to
  prepare a USB memory stick for installing Linux on a Mac, the stick
  needs to be formatted as a Mac boot disk. For this you need mac-fdisk.
  Which is only available for Mac. So unless you already have Linux
  installed on your Mac, you're stuck. Luckily, downloading the package
  source and building the package works reasonably well: While the
  packaging process fails, a working mac-fdisk executable is built.

  Making the binary package available for other platforms would save
  users that trouble.
