   For being the debian maintainer of both cfdisk and fsresize, I can tell
   the cfdisk maintainer will probably not accept patches to integrate
   something like fsresize in cfdisk...
   But nothing prevents us to fork a version for our bootdisks.

That's what I planned to do, anyway.  I figured the upstream
maintainer wouldn't be interested.

It might end up being based on sfdisk instead, actually; that way the
UI can be separated from the disk-editing code.
