Mmm, interesting. As i am currently doing parted upstream work, i may be
willing to look into this nextishly.

Parted will be needed anyway on some of the debian supported
architectures, i plan to use it on powerpc for the pegasos boxes, and
probably the apus guys will want to use it already.
I think there is already a graphical libparted installer which has
integration problems, but there should be no problem at least to use
parted standalone in place of cfdisk. But then, parted is less user
friendly than cfdisk.
