parted (1.8.8.git.2008.03.24-7ubuntu1) intrepid; urgency=low
* Resynchronise with Debian (LP: #237568). Remaining changes:
- swap-uuid.dpatch: Create UUIDs on new swap partitions.
- gptsync.dpatch:
It's also important for us to be in sync with Debian here (since that
allows us to take advantage of debian-installer team effort to keep
related installer code in sync), and so we won't make this change until
Debian does. This is in progress in experimental, but may not land in
unstable until
