The solution is obvious: put a .metadata in the bootable partition
and
fill it with stuff like:
OS_NAME: Fedora 11
I would call that a trivial task but someone with some "standing" in the
community should ask other distributions to do the same in the same
format (and encoding and other technical stuff that matters) in their
own install process.
there is a cross distribution list on
freedesktop.org for exactly this
sort of interaction.
