Mike, could you do the following : 

  Rename the patch to a non-NMU one, give it maybe a more descriptive
  name and little description, including the bug report it closes,
  something in the spirit of : 

    ...
    exit 0
    @DPATCH@

    Adds a "set <part> palo on|off" option, to mark a partition as an
    HPPA/PARISC Linux boot partition. Fixes: #229626

    diff -ur parted-1.6.6-3.1.ori/doc/parted.8
    parted-1.6.6-3.1-palo-work/doc/parted.8 
    ...

  Then add yourself to uploaders, if you can commit the fix to SVN, and
  upload the thing ? numerix is a team packaged package, even if
  medwards was taking the bigger responsability of it, and you are more
  than welcome to the debian/ocaml team. No NMU normal rules apply,
  especially since medwards has been mostly MIA on this issue.
