Dear Maintainer,

I have a script that gathers information using lsblk., It specifically needs
the partition table type, uuid and partition uuid. It uses something like this:

   lsblk -o PATH,KNAME,MAJ:MIN,TYPE,PTTYPE,PTUUID,PARTUUID,LABEL,FSTYPE

This works mostly fine, except on some disks, it gives a bogus PTTYPE of
"dos" when it should be "gpt" for example:

   PATH       KNAME MAJ:MIN TYPE PTTYPE PTUUID                               
PARTUUID                             LABEL   FSTYPE
   /dev/loop4 loop4   7:4   loop                                                
                                  USBROOT btrfs
   /dev/sda   sda     8:0   disk gpt    81c62d1c-b086-4f48-b1e9-b8ae2d457f91
   /dev/sda1  sda1    8:1   part gpt    81c62d1c-b086-4f48-b1e9-b8ae2d457f91

   /dev/sda2  sda2    8:2   part gpt    81c62d1c-b086-4f48-b1e9-b8ae2d457f91

   /dev/sda3  sda3    8:3   part dos    81c62d1c-b086-4f48-b1e9-b8ae2d457f91 
d7f7dfdf-a2a6-4097-9975-c09fa73b19b3 DATA    ntfs
   /dev/sr0   sr0    11:0   rom

Here, /dev/sda3 has a bogus pttype of "dos", but correct PTUUID and
PARTUUID values (mbr entries don't have uuids).
