Bug Description

Binary package hint: usb-creator

If you say "usb-creator-gtk ISO" rather than "usb-creator-gtk --iso ISO" it silently ignores the argument.

The merge proposal doesn't actually fix this bug as we can see that not adding '--iso' has no effect on the image used:

Additionally, the argument parsing routine of usb-creator-gtk has not changed.
