+parted (1.6.11-1) experimental; urgency=low
+
+ * New upstream release. (Closes: #254502)
+ - should fix 2.6 kernel BIOS CHS geometry problems. Broke binary
+ compatibility though, thus the soname change.
+ * Substituted some inaccurate terms in the doc (Fabio Tranchitella).
+ (Closes: #211746)
+ * Update s390 patch (Bastian Blank).
+ * Always regenerate autoconf/automake files (Bastian Blank).
+ * New updated hfs-resize patch (Guillaume Knispel)
+ * Added backported CHS BIOS geometry fix.
+ - libparted/disk_dos.c (read_table, process_bad_chs): now probes
+ Microsoft file systems for BIOS CHS geometry. This idea was
+ suggested by Steffen Winterfeldt <snwint@suse.de>.
+
+ * Thanks to Fabio Tranchitella, Bastian Blank, Guillaume Knispel and
+ Peter Samuelson who made this release possible.

However, chs is not listed in debian/patches/00list, so the backported
fix mentioned above isn't applied. Also, the way the changelog is
written suggests that the 1.6.11 upstream release had something to do
with fixing the CHS problems, but I don't see what it could be from the
diff; would you be kind enough to enlighten me?
Thanks,
