Have you actually tested it? This came up years ago and back then it didn't want to build  FS#38924 .

Based on the tests I have done with the partclone.jfs that comes with Clonezilla, it appears that partclone.jfs basically broken. All the attempts I have done to restore a backup made with partclone.jfs claim that the restore was successful, but a fsck.jfs shows that the restored partition is loaded with filesystem errors. I'll have to withdraw this request until they fix the upstream tool.
