Public bug reported:
libparted tries to be as much label-agnostic as possible, but sometimes
it's required that a selected partition has the partition type set to an
*exact* GUID value. Currently the only way to modify the type GUID for
parts in the gpt label is to change the partition-specific flags which
in the end causes the GUID to change. There are no API calls that would
allow to set the type to an arbitrary value.
This is a bit troublesome as other partitioning tools like sfdisk or
sgdisk allow setting the GUID to any acceptable value.
It would be best if libparted gained the same ability as it's bindings
are available for multiple languages.
