IMHO, from a users point of view, you should just exclude, for free space
checks, any partition that is mounted with a mount point that is not going to
be used by the installer, independently of the filesystem. It just doesn't make
sense to check them. If a user does weird things and manages to actually make
the installer put stuff in partitions that are not checked under this "rule",
then it's the user's responsibility to make sure they have space there.
That way the vast majority of users will only see warnings if they really don't
enough space, and the corner case users should know what they're doing anyway.
