No, the current code doesn't, but what I had planned on doing was adding hyphenated suffixes onto the --source rootfs param which would be treated as subdividing the rootfs (passed in using -r) and creating separate partitions with those contents e.g. --source rootfs-home --source rootfs-usr-local So in the above, the contents of /home would be split out into a separate partition (and subtracted from rootfs) as well as /usr/local, and fstab entries would be created to mount those partitions as /home and /usr/local...
