Grml has superior package selections.  GNU cfdisk is one of them.  Please keep
it.  Sidux 2008-02 (just released) has a Debian cfdisk version 2002 (6 years old!).

That variant has few units (MB, sectors, cyl).  GNU cfdisk has bytes, KiB, KB,
GiB, GB, etc.  This choice is extremely helpful.  I use dd_rescue to copy
partitions and need byte precision for that.

I loathe fdisk input/output operation because I change my mind while staring at
the screen.  Fdisk gives nothing to look at.  Gparted shows bars, but lacks the
byte precision of GNU cfdisk and needs an X session too.

Unclear what the "annoying bugs" are...package problems?  Isn't that a Debian
issue?  The program has always worked for me.  My favorite partitioning tool.
