In principle, I agree, but...

dd_?rescue of course ;-) just kidding. I don't know...

I was just thinking of Joe User with a hosed disk. He goes to FE and tries to
find a package to help the situation: there are two with almost the same name
and the same purpose. Argh.
So he does what you just did: test them. And basicaly finds out what you
found out already: they are both useful in their own way.
I still think a single package, along with explanations in the package
description, is the least confusing.
But I admit I can't help with the name. Maybe just use history: which one was
first ?
Cheers,
Christian
