Package: parted Severity: wishlist Tags: d-i The attached patch adds a menu item number to the parted udeb. The purpose of this is not to show parted in the main menu, but only to allow users to select it from the list of optional components that is displayed at medium and low priority. This should make it easier for users to use parted for manual partitioning if they so desire. The same "trick" is already being used in the openshh-client udeb.
I have also changed the short description so that it is consistent with the descriptions for fdisk and cfdisk udebs. A suggested changelog entry is included in the patch. Cheers, FJP
