Manual partitioning: Label field

[Chris Murphy]

For LVM, the Name field is used for the Logical Volume name. Label field is available, but appears it's not used for anything.

For Btrfs, the Name field is used for the subvolume name. Again, the label field is available, but the entry is unused.

For Standard Partitions, the Name field is grayed out with the device designation entered in for you and you can't change it. And the Label field is where you give the volume a name. This is pretty screwy. I think the Label field can be dropped, but before filing a bug I figured I'd see if I'm missing something.
