 Apparently not everyone creating a GPT fills all UIIDs - this disk came
 with a laptop with Windows pre-installed, so the zero UUIDs for unused
 partition slots may either be from a windows installer or the manufacturers
 mass cloning process.
 
 And indeed I can not reproduce it with any GPT that our gpt(8) created.
