The most notable improvement that I made recently is the message

I'm yet to take a look at the code, but do I understand it
correctly that Jigdo's .template only allows for a file (as
identified by the SHA-1 digest of its contents) to be associated
with a contiguous part of the destination image?
Such an approach is hardly applicable to Ext2+ FS images.
Consider, e. g.:
$ /sbin/debugfs +b21e37e0-c722-11e0-9094-001966aaa0b6.ext2
debugfs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)

debugfs:
There, the file's contents in two parts: one occupies image's
blocks 21 to 32, inclusive, and the other one 34 to 37,
inclusive.
It was my understanding that Jigdo's .template cannot associate
one SHA-1 with such a non-contiguous chunk.
