Of course you already know that can be easily fixed with two tiny patches
that are in my tree

When a pc-style partition table is used, PARTUUIDs don't really exist and
$DISKID-$N is used as substitute, where the disk id is extracted from the
partition table and N is the partition number.

As for why the disk id is zero for your cards I dunno. You should be able
to reset them to a random number by generating a new partition table using
fdisk.

And there, we have nice UUIDs!

You're confusing partition UUIDs (PARTUUID) with filesystem UUIDs. The
kernel only understands the former, while blkid is showing you the latter.
