Available since v8.16, commit:
http://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/commit/?id=4e776faa

News entry:

  dd now accepts the conv=sparse flag to attempt to create sparse
  output, by seeking rather than writing to the output file.

Marking as done.

It would be useful if dd had an option to create sparse output files, similarly to the --sparse option in cp.
