IIRC, DD does tell you what the label is when you edit the partition, but it does not assign the label to the partition when you first hit the main screen. My memory says that you have to edit each partition and select the label by hand, although the old label is reported as a hint. (Of course, my memory could be wrong...) My suggestion was that existing labels be assigned by default.
I like it only revealing the prior label information. I run a lot of installations and auto-assignment would destroy the intended system to shreds.
Just goes to show, you can't please everyone every time. I'm not sure, but I think auto assignment would have helped the OP. Of course, it needs to be overridable, and in such a way that kickstart or other mass installation strategies could work easily. The questions are, which constituency gets inconvenienced and how can the inconvenience be minimized?
