There was no reaction to this.
Having the cfdisk part translated is IMHO really important. Without
this, we will end up with a full translated installer in a lot of
languages....except for the manual partitioning step.
So, can we afford this extra bloat ?
fdisk-udeb is currently about 85k. Thus by grabbing translations from
the util-linux package we lose 380k....
