There is no tracking bug. The coding part is simple. But it might need
coordination with Adriaan de Groot (Calamares) as this might need a new API in
KPMcore (we need to tell the KPMcore library which devices we want to ignore)
if  we decide to do the filtering in the library.

See e.g.
https://cgit.kde.org/kpmcore.git/tree/src/plugins/sfdisk/sfdiskbackend.cpp?id=ad863cc6b107e97fdcb903d571d4bc6b633f74f5#n62

Right now there is an argument to ignore read only devices (I think Calamares
uses it). Camalares might also be interested in some other filters (e.g. not
ISO9660). So the issue is not the difficulty of coding, but more like what
should the new API look like, so that we won't need to change it again.

On the other hand, we might let KPMcore library just scan all devices and try
to filter devices at the GUI level (KDE Partition Manager, not the library) in
partitionmanager/src/gui/listdevices.cpp in ListDevices::updateDevices.
