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.
