See my bugreport #461888 [2] to see what I'd like to get for the future. Currently we've the problem that we want to ship gnu-fdisk even though it causes headaches sometimes because it is based on libparted which supports some features, that util-linux does not support (GPT for example) but are important for several users. But there's a known workaround anyway: Try fdisk.distrib or cfdisk/cfdisk.distrib instead. It's also documented in grml's FAQ: http://grml.org/faq/#fdisk Though I'm thinking about a way to make it even more visible to our users.
