I only set that event as a significant milestone to refer my timing to.

For a while, I expected that bug to be really confirmed and/or a newer
upstream fixing that (and other) bugs to be released.
I would *love* parted to have native ReiserFS support, but it seems it
will never have it (at least, certainly not via libreiserfs, what a pity)

Thank you, Sune :-)
I would like to do it myself, and immediately after Etch is released, if
you don't mind.

Sorry if that sounded a bit too 'picky'.
I am quite a bit disappointed with the NM process right now.
Anyway, your interest is much appreciated :-)
And my most sincere thanks for the rest of the work you do in Debian,
specially with KDE ;)
Cheers,
