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.
