[Parted-maintainers] Bug#440675: support for parted1.8

[Guido Günther]

Hi,
I finally got around to cleanup the patch for parted1.8. This adds two
things against current parted git:

0001-linux-device-mapper-map-type-detection.patch: detect the device map
type and store it in the device structure. This changes the size of the
structure so we might have to bump the so name. This feature is useful
in general since people might want to now what type of device they're
acting on. The type is display within parted too.

0002-fix-multipath-partition-naming.patch: based on 0001 this returns
the correct partiton names for device mapper devices.

Please apply. What are the plans for moving libparted 1.8 into unstable?
Besides the bootloader (which is less critical since it's not part of
the installer itself) this is the last missing part to enable
multipath-support in d-i.
Cheers,
 -- Guido
