I think a good first try would be uploading the parted from stable
(1.7.1-5.1) with increased version in the changelog to 1.7.1-5.1+b1,
with armel binaries if possible.

Once that's in t-p-u, parted1.7-udeb/1.7.1-5.1+b1/armel should be
syncable to testing without even the need for an "approve" (we'll waste
a bit of buildd time, I guess.)

The reason for the +b1 suffix in source is that the source will be just
dropped, and I recommend that so that parted-udeb/armel's version
clearly indicates that is built from 1.7.1-5.1 with no changes.

(A sourceful upload of 1.7.1-5.1 would obviously not work.)

Martin, can you take care of that?
