Hi Dominik,

>From bklid(8) manual page:

  It is recommended to use lsblk(8) command to get information about block
  devices, or lsblk --fs to get an overview of filesystems, or findmnt(8) to
  search in already mounted filesystems.

  lsblk(8) provides more information, better control on output formatting,
  easy to use in scripts and it does not require root permissions to get
  actual information. <and so on>

Notice that the manual page also has marked --output=list deprecated
in favour of the lsblk(8) command. So it is _very_ unlikely changes to
that output format are accepted by Karel who maintains the project.
That basically means bugs in that format are now features.
