The script `growpart` in this package uses other tools like `sgdisk`. Wouldn't be a good idea to add these as optional dependencies? For example `gptfdisk`.

Background: I am using an ArchLinux cloud image [1] which has `cloud-guest-utils` installed as default. `growpart` is part of `cloud-guest-utils` and is used to use the whole disk size. However it cannot work because the ArchLinux cloud images come with GPT.

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  "I noticed that `sfdisk` also does the job which is installed as default as `util-linux`. Turns out there is a bug in `util-linux`: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/a rch-boxes/-/issues/160#note_103055"
