Yes, I already did this in git.

let fdisk choose end sector for piggyback partition
Forcing fdisk to use +5M sometimes fails, probably due to some imprecision
in calculating the size (perhaps it thinks we're talking mibibytes?) There
is an easy fix for this, just let fsck choose the size on its own; it will
use the entire free space in the iso for its partition.
There's really not much point trying to rebuild the version of d-i in unstable.
