That's true. No.

True again. However, if you create the partition table on destination 
disk, and every partition is equal or larger than the source one, yes, 
you can use the option "-k" and "-r" to make it. By doing this, 
Clonezilla will skip creating the partition table on the destination, 
i.e. use the pre-partitioned disk, and "-r" will let something like 
resize2fs to make the file system size match the partition size.
Hope this helps.

Steven.
