(Frankly, I don't care about names...) To be honest, I'd prefer if you just kept the existing name(s) and merged the functionality of the two libraries into one. That avoids the need to re-code either set of applications, and also avoids the risk of a yet _another_ library in addition to libblkid and libvolume_id that is used in a few places each. Failing that, how about "libdevprobe"?
