Sure, parted is even available at 1.6.14 in experimental, but the changes have
been judged too intrusive for sarge, especially as parted is part of base,
which has been frozen in august, and because sarge 1.6.12 introdyced an API
change. In retrospect, i think this was an error, but it was the RMs decision
on this.

Now, if you know of actual bugs fixed in upstream, and present in the debian
packages, we will see what we can do about back-porting them, as we did, in
accord with Andrew Clausen, for the CHS geometry bug.

And you are welcome to participate in the bug fixing :)

Friendly,
