That's good. Thanks. It would be pretty awkward if this wasn't fixed in
Sarge.

Hm, I'd prefer not to do this, since I'm not familiar with parted's
capabilities. 
E.g. parted cannot resize an hfs partition with active journal
(#294773). Can it *create* a journalled hfs(+) volume? It seems that
HFSX isn't supported yet. Not at all, or to which degree...? 

I see you've filed a RFH for parted, but I think this is a
five-minutes-job for a maintainer. Please consider to fix this soon.
