So whichever way you proceed, you should avoid using a naming scheme which resembles the linux one.
From my perspective as a maintainer of partitioning software it would be nice if given the device name and partition number I could easily determine the partition name.
Unfortunately this is not easily done when there are deviations from the linux model ("insert a 'p' between the device name and the partition number when the device name ends in a number").
Each deviation from the linux partition naming model results in more code to handle the deviation, and a corresponding increased number of test cases to avoid errors.
