As far as the Debian package is concerned there are only two additions, both are overflow bug fixes that came from the OpenSUSE package. I will probably play a bit with gpart and trying to fix warnings and an error that I encountered (seek error on what seems to be a detected embedded ext2 partition larger than the disk size) but I don't believe I'll be a full time maintainer for the gpart package. It is close to areas I care about (disks and their failures) but I'm trying to focus on some specific interests of mine and have little time for other projects.
