  Description     : write hybrid iso files to usb

A simple gui application for writing hybrid iso files, like the debian
installer, to USB flash media.

There is a demand in debian for a utility like this that doesn't
require command line knowledge or usage.  isoimagewriter finds
available usb drives via udisks2, presents them in a drop down menu,
offers a file picker dialog to select the iso, and writes the image to
usb without modifying it. I tested it with a bookworm installer; the
resulting usb drive booted in both BIOS and UEFI mode and completed
the installation without any of the typical issues that come from
using a tool like unetbootin.

I will maintain this package with the debian QT/KDE team.
