Disk labels that support extended partition have that field
in their disk_type descriptor:
        features:       PED_DISK_TYPE_EXTENDED

Atari will have that field too.

I believe Sven is taking care of removing the selection
from parted.c when the label doesn't support extended, but
maybe he will enjoy if you do it ? :)
