[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#695473: gnome-disk-utility: Not possible to format disk

[Krzysztof Kotlenga]

If this happens when you format vfat, then it's very likely caused by
the very, very old wipefs (util-linux package) in Debian. It's not g-d-u
nor the underlying udisks2 bug.

Util-linux upstream fix is 6611a3dd783006fd8c6b924a76c4820287278d36
"wipefs: improve -a, use blkid_do_wipe()"
