Actually you can't just look at the package names :) For whatever reason
the Fedora version of hfsutils doesn't include mkfs.hfs, only fsck.hfs.

So it looks like most distributions have both. Maybe I should add
another test case for hfsplus? The filesystem name in the test is 'hfs+'
already though, so I'm not sure if there is any actual difference
between them as far as parted is concerned.

Thanks for the help!
