I view libparted as an internal implementation detail. We're not seeking to turn libvirt into a general purpose parititioning tool, but rather just providing a minimal set of APIs for enumerating, creating and assigning virtual disks to machines. Such an API would be operating at a more abstract higher level than the libparted API, so exposing libparted would be a mistake in this respect.
