Additionally having bytes, KiB, GiB would be nice, yes. I also tend to change 
my mind while looking at the screen. Or rather, I create and re-create 
partitions several times, fine-tuning the size by moving start and end, 
maximizing and putting on filesystems... Gparted isn't usable for me, it lacks 
precision. 

To get on-topic, an additional package with gnu (c)fdisk would be fine by me - 
provided that it does not clobber the names of other programs. How about 
renaming it, to gcfdisk, gfdisk and so on? But if I must choose between a known-
good program that did not change during the last 6 years and a new one with 
obvious bugs, I take the first one any time. ;)

I hope this will not become an either-this-or-that case, but if this happens, I 
hereby vote for the old package in advance.
