No difference in the documentation regarding hfs(plus).

I think the documentation should be fixed in Sarge. Will Sarge release
with parted 1.6.22?  
HFS is _the_ native PPC filesystem. Parted's package description really
should be in sync with its major features.  Why wait for 1.6.22 anyway? 
It's fairly trivial to fix that.

Only debian/{control,README.Debian} are affected, it has nothing to do
with upstream.

Who's K.G.?

P.S. Note this bug affects parted and
libparted1.6-{12,i18n,dev,dbg,udeb}. 
I would have filed it against the parted source package, but how does
one do that, when the binary and source package names are the same?
