Actually, it's not that bad.  The logic is mostly sound, anyway :-).

To be completely correct, it needs to use the start of the extended
partition instead of the start of the disk, too.

I will merge your changes (or something like them) tomorrow.  Tonight
I have a baseball game to watch...

Thank you for doing the heavy lifting on this.

Because the Parted maintainer is crazy, and I have a soft spot in my
heart for crazy software maintainers.  Also, I wanted to allow
interactive and non-interactive partitioning.  And Parted does have
some nice features, like partition resizing.

But yeah, maybe sfdisk would have been a better choice.
