Request for Review dd_rescue/ddrescue/dd_rhelp

Hello,

Just a short recap of the current situation:
There exist two fault tollerant dd solutions. One is named dd_rescue, the 
other is named ddrescue. Both have their pros and cons. dd_rescue together 
with dd_rhelp (a bash helper script) looks a bit more advanced then the 
GNU ddrescue, but this is my personal opinion.

Problem was that there is currently a ddrescue package in the 
fedora-extras tree, which does package dd_rescue. This is a bit confusing, 
as there are people who'd like ddrescue as well.

My suggestion to solve this mess is to include three packages, ddrescue, 
dd_rescue and dd_rhelp with correct epoch and conflict tags to fix the 
naming mess.

Could someone please review these packages?

thanks,
