Let's start over.. :-)

I'd like to request that the gnu-fdisk and gnu-cfdisk packages be added to^W^Wkept in
the D-I section of the Debian archive.  There is a small use case in which
this is useful:

  - You start an install using GPT.
  - You manually edit the partition table in one of your disks with fdisk
  because you're more confortable with that interface than with partman or
  parted.
  - Turns out it won't work without GPT support: apt-install gnu-fdisk
  gives you a libparted-based fdisk which does.

Thanks for considering,
