It mostly works fine, there was some packaging attempt but it never happened,
and i would be ready to maintain it later on, but if Daniel would handle both,
it would be easier.

Daniel, also, you are free to move your stuff to the debian svn repo, where we
already host parted and some embryo gparted, and we can then build both the
ubuntu and debian versions from there.
