Well, for an MSDOS partition table, you would look for '253', for a Mac partition table you could look for something like 'Linux_RAID' or similar (just arbitrarily define some name beginning with the Linux_ prefix), etc. This means that the partition table type would need to be exposed as well (I don't know if it is already).
It's not, but perhaps exporting "format" and "type" as distinct attributes is the way to go. The policy for which partitions to consider would live entirely in kinit that way.
type would be format-specific; in EFI it's a UUID.
This, of course, is a bigger change, but it just might be worth it.
