Thanks.  Obviously it would be nice to trim down the patch stack
further, and I would like to ship 3.2 in jessie, but if you don't mind I
think I'll go ahead with what I have for now.  According to
libparted/Makefile.am there doesn't seem to be an ABI change (although I
expect that at least AGE will be bumped before release ...), so once
we're at a vaguely reasonable baseline it should be easy enough to
upgrade to 3.2 shortly afterwards.
