We need libparted to be available at build time otherwise we can't link against it; we don't, however, need the parted command to be present until runtime and, just as is the case for other commands, we already perform a lookup through the virCommand API so making sure it's available at build time is unnecessary. This doesn't make any difference for platform such as Fedora and CentOS, where both the library and the command are in the same package, but others like Debian, Ubuntu and openSUSE have separate packages for the two components and this change means that we can install one less package at build time.
