Actually, I believe there's code in that mess somewhere that re-orders the
partitions if they're out of order (which breaks dell's hidden bios partition
thing). I ranted about that back in November...
Could you check and see if this really is a useless warning or a "I'm going to
do something stupid" warning?
(I honestly think that the best use the current fdisk code can serve is
something you read to learn how to partition stuff, then start over from
scratch writing a new (sane) implementation. Easier than paring down this
monster. But that's just how I'd approach it...)
