Actually, it should never print that message with the --new command. In
fact, it *SHOULD* never print that message at all; however, I did find a
stray bit of debugging code that prints such a message in the
-c/--change-name function of sgdisk. I've removed this code from the
source code; the change is now in the git repository.
