And that was presumably a very long time ago. Current tools just start 
the first partition at a large power of two offset and alignment issues 
consequently aren't a problem unless you work at it. (This was mainly 
only an issue with old DOS-style partition tables that started the first 
partition at 32256 bytes. The 1M first partition offset has been the 
default in debian I think since wheezy.)
