I see now.. through the magic of dbus variants you can add optional
arguments without breaking abi.
Running util-linux 2.24.2-1, this timeout problem has been solved for
me. It correctly removes the existing partition table on a test disk,
creates a new one, and does not give the timeout error.

Eek, yes. At some point we *need* to get off our hilariously ancient
