Thanks!

No, the current code doesn't, but what I had planned on doing was adding
hyphenated suffixes onto the --source rootfs param which would be
treated as subdividing the rootfs (passed in using -r) and creating
separate partitions with those contents e.g.

--source rootfs-home
--source rootfs-usr-local

So in the above, the contents of /home would be split out into a
separate partition (and subtracted from rootfs) as well as /usr/local,
and fstab entries would be created to mount those partitions as /home
and /usr/local...
