I don't think so. The left half of the "Manual Partitioning" screen refers
to mount-points in at least three places, explicitly referring to using
the '+' below to create "mount-points". And what does it show there when
unfolding a '+' entry? Correct, it displays mount-points. Paths such as
"/mnt/storage". Yes, it also displays what might be the corresponding
partition labels, although it writes the first character of such labels in
upper-cases, e.g. "Storage" instead of "storage".

Btw, the mount-points it displays at the left side of the screen cannot be
copied/dragged to the right side, although there is a large ">" arrow that
apparently is there only to highlight that the left and right side belong
together. ;) I've had to type in the same mount-points on the right side
before clicking "Apply Changes".
