Dear Kibi,

all of your issues on the corresponding merge request, as well as

I've split this commit and it is much clearer now.

>  * 71391967763708055a65ed68999db8f4ea6fc6e6 sets “deb00001” as the FAT
>    volume ID; have you checked with people like debian-cd@ whether
>    another constant might make more sense?

Clarified where this comes from in the commmit and in the code
itself.

>    [ also: “becuase” in commit message. ]

Fixed.

>  * c35b8688696b1b4563a45d0feeabc3a0c0f2eccb “determinstic”

Fixed.

>  * ea1a896181daa3b82c5a62ae31839b457a0dbe0b modifies BUILD_DATE, adding
>    a few characters (“:SS”); that ends up in various help screens

In my tests, this did not break any visual text wrapping, etc.

>  * f181b4fe90b9030f515c7e6129239b96131b3926 oh more en_GB, yay.

Fixed (use 'results' instead).
