* Merge fix-head-size-assertion.patch from Ubuntu: change an
assert so it correctly recovers instead of aborting the program
(closes: #620273).
* Merge dm_p_separator.patch from Ubuntu: parted would add a
'p' between the base device name and the partition number for
all device-mapper devices instead of only if the base name
ended in a digit.
* Merge remove-dev_t-dep.patch from Ubuntu: parted was making
bad assumptions about the meaning of the values of dev_t,
causing it to fail to detect in-use partitions on all dmraid
disks, and regular disk partitions > #16.
* Merge skip-floppy.patch from Ubuntu: add floppies to the list
of ignored devices since they can not be partitioned anyhow,
and often people have no floppy though their bios thinks they do,
and touching it causes hangs.
* Merge gptsync.patch from Ubuntu: On Intel Mac systems, write a
synced MBR rather than a protective MBR.
* Merge loop-partitions.patch from Ubuntu: backport some changes
to allow the use of partitions on loop devices. This also
allows more than 16 partitions.
* Merge dmraid.patch from Ubuntu: Don't probe dmraid partition
devices. Also set UUID of newly created dmraid partition devices.
* Merge dm-part-sync.patch from Ubuntu: refactor device-mapper
partition sync code so it does not fail when unmodified partitions
are mounted.
* Merge udevadm-settle.patch from Ubuntu: Run udevadm settle around
partition table rereads, to avoid races.
* Merge 16-dos-partitions.patch from Ubuntu: the kernel was not
being informed of partitions above #16 on dos partition tables
(closes: #667638).
* Merge hfs-probe-corrupt.patch from Ubuntu: don't let a corrupt
FS evoke failed assertion.
* Backport online resize patches: 0001-parted-resizepart-command.patch,
0003-libparted-Add-support-for-BLKPG-ioctl-partition-resi.patch,
and 0004-parted-make-_partition_warn_busy-actually-a-warning.patch
* Merge fewer-gpt-entries.patch: Backport upstream patches to handle
GPT labels with fewer than 128 partition entries (LP: #1187560).
* debian/patches/avoid-disturbing-partitions.patch: Don't remove and
re-add unmodified partitions (LP: #1060484).
* debian/patches/linux-specific-gpt-type.patch: Backport upstream
changes to use a linux specific partition type code instead of
Microsoft's, which causes Windows to offer to format the partition.
This bug was fixed in the package parted - 2.3-14
