After removing the change to the NEWS file and including the patch in
debian/patches, the patch applies without problem to current parted from
unstable.

I've rebuilt the libparted udeb including this patch and installed that in
my test system before starting partman and then repeated the test
described in message #20 in the BR.
The patch does *NOT* fix the issue. I can still reproduce.
