[Bug 1735833] Re: Please sync gparted 0.38.0-3 from debian unstable

My understanding is that the Ubuntu Security team does not want
gparted's --enable-xhost-root option. I think that option is
inappropriate for Debian too, but I had not filed the bug there yet.

Also, I have some changes from LP: #1709140 that are useful. For
instance, you should be able to run some of the build tests.

I guess I didn't get around to uploading my work yet because of the
googletest issue and autopkgtest issue, but neither of those are really
blockers.

The appropriate team to subscribe is ~ubuntu-sponsors not ~ubuntu-
archive. I encourage you to use requestsync from ubuntu-dev-tools to
help file the bug next time. But in this case, Ubuntu would need a
merge, not a sync because of my first point.

Thank you for maintaining gparted.
