[Parted-maintainers] Bug#643626: Detect advanced format drives

[martin f krafft]

Package: libparted0debian1
Version: 2.3-8
Severity: wishlist

libparted thinks that newer WD drives, those using advanced format,
have 512/512 physical/logical sector size, when in fact that should
be 4096/512. It would be grand if libparted could discover this
itself, for then bugs #643625 and #643623 would be solved.
