[Vmdebootstrap-devel] Bug#815256: vmdebootstrap: Boot partition type is always fat16

When --bootsize and --boottype arguments are passed, the boot partition's file
system type in the partition table is always set to fat16.  This is not a
problem for any tool that I care about as filesystem type is determined by
looking at the contents of the partition instead of partition table.  It is,
however, a nice thing to set the proper file system type in paritition type.

The attached patch proposes to default to 'Linux' as type and only use 'fat16'
when 'vfat' or 'msdos' are specified as boot partition file system type.
