Well, my first shot at it gives me:
$ ./debian/rules binary
...
configure: error: GNU Parted requires libuuid - a part of the e2fsprogs package.
This can probably be found on your distribution's CD or FTP site or at:
http://web.mit.edu/tytso/www/linux/e2fsprogs.html
Note: if you are using precompiled packages you will also need the development
package as well (which may be called e2fsprogs-devel or something similar).
If you compile e2fsprogs yourself then you need to do 'make install' and
'make install-libs'.
And I really do have e2fsprogs installed and /lib/libuuid.so.1{,.2} exists.
