I found the URL to the bug report.  It is http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?19410.  
In summary (and more specifically), I wish to add the following features to the 
GRUB2 'parttool' command:

1) Create or delete a primary partition.  This functionality was provided by 
the 'partnew' command in GRUB Legacy.  See also 
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?19389.

2) Edit extended partition tables (EPBRs).  This functionality was added to 
GRUB Legacy with the 'eptedit' command as described in bug report #19410.

NOTE: Not mentioned in the original bug report: with the ability to edit EPBRs, 
the potential number of logical partitions is limited only by the disk geometry 
for any SATA, PATA or SCSI disk.

Regards,

Steve Burtchin
