Well, for an MSDOS partition table, you would look for '253', for a Mac
partition table you could look for something like 'Linux_RAID' or
similar (just arbitrarily define some name beginning with the Linux_
prefix), etc. This means that the partition table type would need to
be exposed as well (I don't know if it is already).
It's not, but perhaps exporting "format" and "type" as distinct
attributes is the way to go. The policy for which partitions to
consider would live entirely in kinit that way.
type would be format-specific; in EFI it's a UUID.
This, of course, is a bigger change, but it just might be worth it.
