What's the reason to not always both print out and set the uuid env var?

Perhaps the env name should be partuuid or part_uuid as you could have
uuid's for other purposes?

A list command would be useful and would be better located here than
under scsi or other interface commands. Perhaps instead of printing a
single part uuid, you should make a list command that prints all
partitions and their UUIDs. That would address my first question.
