The easier way is to use our GIT repository.

Do:

git clone git://git.debian.org/git/parted/parted.git

Then apply your patch and use:

git commit -a

Properly document the change. Use a small description, one empty line,
long description.

Use git-format-patch origin/master.. -o patches-to-send

Send the generated file as attached for us.
