Package: fdisk
Version: 2.35.1-5
Severity: wishlist

I’ve noticed that fdisk will now be autoremoved on many systems
because the dependencies on it are gone from everywhere else.

While this is probably ok for new installations, existing systems
might… find this not so much agreeable.

I’d suggest running 'apt-mark manual fdisk' in the upgrade case
in a maintainer script, but since the package database is locked
during their execution I know this isn’t doable.

Any better ideas?
