This is deliberate, so that normal unprivileged users can see
information about all the block devices.  The label and uuid and
filesystem type isn't considered "privileged" information.  For example,
udev/vol-id reveals such information in /dev/disk/by-id and /dev/disk
/by-uuid.

** Changed in: e2fsprogs (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
