And when you ask that single "fake" partition for it's device name, will it be "/dev/sda" or "/dev/sda1"? Any answer is looking for trouble, e.g. with "/dev/sda" you have several objects with the same device name (have fun finding the right one), with "/dev/sda1" you cannot e.g. use the device name to mount the filesystem.
