Thanks again for providing all the information; I have finally implemented an
"align-at" option in a patch included in 4.0~beta2+experimental7. It would be
great if you could give that one a try. The use is as follows:

disk_config sda align-at:4K
...

which should make all non-preserved partitions start at multiples of 4k-blocks
and also have them end at proper points such that no holes appear. Testing and
feedback would be much appreciated.

Best regards,
Michael
