[Parted-maintainers] Bug#838986: parted: Please remove README.Debian

Package: parted
Version: 3.2-15
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

the README.Debian from April 2007 that is shipped with parted is
inaccurate and misleading. For example, according to the upstream
changelog, creating file system hasn't been supported in about five
years.

Please just remove the file.

Cheers,
-Hilko
