It's been some time since I had a need for it, but AFAIK,
fdisk from util-linux has supported GPT partitions for quite
a while now.  That should largely negate the need to add
gdisk to live images, I think.

Whether gparted makes sense is another matter, of course.  I
have found it handy as well, but I also found it simple
enough to install in the live image when I needed it.  For
whatever little that datapoint is worth. :)
