  Description     : Erase disks prior to donation

DBAN is a well-known live image to wipe HDDs so that you can give the
hardware to others without them getting access to your old data.

Apparently the "active ingredient" of DBAN is dwipe, which is forked
into a stand-alone package called nwipe.

Having nwipe available in a Debian Live CD would avoid having to carry
around a separate DBAN CD.
