Sorry.  I was thinking 'mkfs.hfsplus' but wrote instead 'newfs_hfs'.
mkfs.hfsplus is definitely part of Ubuntu, at least as of Hardy:

 $ dpkg -S mkfs.hfsplus
 hfsprogs: /usr/share/man/man8/mkfs.hfsplus.8.gz
 hfsprogs: /sbin/mkfs.hfsplus

 $ lsb_release -rc
 Release:        8.04 
 Codename:       hardy

pdisk is mentioned in the manpage for mkfs.hfsplus:

   "SEE ALSO
        mount(8), pdisk(8)"

You're right about pdisk not being in debian, though:

http://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=pdisk&mode=exactfilename&suite=unstable&arch=any

So the solution is to either remove the mention of pdisk, to add it to
ubuntu, or to point to where it can be downloaded.

** Changed in: hfsprogs (Ubuntu)
       Status: Invalid => New
