The attached patch adds a menu item number to the fdisk and cfdisk udebs. 
The purpose of this is not to show them in the main menu, but only to allow 
users to select them from the list of optional components that is displayed 
at medium and low priority. This should make it easier for users to use the 
utilities for manual partitioning if they so desire.
The same "trick" is already being used in the openshh-client udeb.

I have also changed the short descriptions so that they are consistent with 
eachother and with the description for parted udeb. The long description 
was rather bogus and is not required, so was removed

A suggested changelog entry is included in the patch.

Cheers,
FJP
