I agree that factoring this out makes sense. I've looked over your patch and the thorough analysis and can't see any holes in it.

Have you done any testing with the new code? Would be great if you could do that before committing.

I don't think a circular dependency would do any harm in this case. Suggest you just add it.

Some nitpicks.

The changelog entry for partman-base could be a bit more elaborate IMO and should include an explanation why the function was added.

I'd also change the changelog entries for the other udebs. Something like: * Code to commit changes factored out to new function commit_changes in   definitions.sh. Requires partman-base (>= 113).

Do you need help?X

Cheers,
FJP
