[Parted-maintainers] Bug#588364: parted: ufs support

[Aurelien Jarno]

Package: parted
Version: 2.3-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Up to now, the GNU/kFreeBSD installer used a patched version of parted to 
create UFS partition. This patch was a quick and dirty hack and was for
example not able to detect already existing partitions.

I have just written a better patch, that correctly create UFS partition and
which is also able to detect them. Please find attached a patch for that. It
just needs to be put in debian/patches and added to debian/patches/series.

Thanks in advance.
