Gnome-disk-utility depends on udisks2 which in turn optionally depends on parted for partition management. Gnome-disk-utility is just a GUI, it relies on udisks2 for doing the real work.

Oh, indeed, you're right. I think it shouldn't be optionnal for the gnome-disk-utility as it's a core functionnality of the application. In fact I don't really know the policy for the dependency in Arch, but what about adding parted ?

Adding parted as a dependency is not a problem, it doesn't pull in much extra stuff and gnome-disk-utility itself is not a requirement for anything.
