My problem is that parted 1.8.6 was released in 2007, and the recipe 
already carries eight patches with it (and none of them has any 
information about their origin).

Who's going to provide ongoing maintenance for all that? I would like 
Lei to establish himself as the maintainer (through the maintainers.inc 
file).
