Turns out that this is being discussed for psql as well:
Including a suggestion (patch) display partitions with a different type in the \d output.
If that patch gets accepted/committed, maybe the driver should be adjusted to also return "PARTITION" as the table type instead of TABLE.
That might however, break applications that know how to deal with TABLEs but have no notion that a PARTITION can be treated as that as well.
