Irrelevant.
Debian thought it relevant enough to mention in a warning(error?)
message. There I thought it reasonable that it was true of _all_ my disks.
I get the following error message:

You must specify the partition containing the filesystem, not the whole
disk.
The man pages for fdisk, parted, sfdisk, tune2fs, and dumpe2fs each give
"device" as a possible parameter. Only the last two balk at it.
