Porting parted on GNU/kFreeBSD

As you can see at [0], partconf-find-partitions and partconf-mkfstab udebs (from partconf source package) are needed (among others).

partconf source package doesn't build because of the lack of libparted1.8-dev (from parted source package).

parted source package doesn't build.
It has a kFreeBSD patch, but it is disabled, and it doens't apply because it is referred to an old version of parted (1.7 as far as I know).

I created some trivial patches:
-[build_deps]
-[configure.ac] (from the existing kFreeBSD patch)
-[disable_devmapper] (hackish)
I got an [error], that I think is simple for more experienced developers than me.

Now I switch trying to produce a debian-installer image, even not fully functional but at least that boots.
