 Yes. Ron is right, the current behaviour is strange, but I'm not sure
 if we want to fix it after 3 years.
 
 And I'm also not sure it the current behavior is so big problem. If you 
 want just one value than it makes more sense to use

    # blkid  -s UUID -o value /dev/sdb1
    f0710187-82bf-4646-b2e3-11b017e31218

 and if you ask for more tags by "-o export" than you cannot rely on 
 order of the lines, so DEVNAME= in the output cannot be a problem.

 I have a patch to fix it, but now when I think about it it's probably
 better to keep the current behavior than fix one regression by
 another regression ;-)
