There seems to be a bit of a mess with label vs name for partitions...

Hmm, I think I followed terminology used by lsblk:
$ lsblk -o PARTLABEL  /dev/sda1
PARTLABEL
EFI System

lsblk is part of util-linux package. Yet fdisk which is also from util-linux
uses Partition Name.

I guess this confusion in therminology is because they are essentially the same
thing, just at different levels, one is a string at partition level, the other
at file system level.

That said, if people feel strongly that this should be partition name, we can
change it.

Support for actually editing parition names is not wired into GUI (if I
remember correctly kpmcore library has implemented required functions, but it's
not exposed in GUI). Anyway, this is a duplicate of 443197, so any discussion
for this point should be there.
