Dropping old fdisk utilities



Hi!

Since parted fully supports partitioning of all typical partition
types on m68k machines - amiga, atari, mac - I would be in favor
of removing the old fdisk packages.

mac-fdisk in particular is no longer needed but it can cause trouble
with debian-installer when the udebs are outdated or broken.

While amiga-fdisk is not used in debian-installer, we actually don't
need it either. parted works just fine for partitioning Amiga hard
disks.

So, I would be in favor of removing both amiga-fdisk and mac-fdisk.

Opinions?

Adrian
