You could go for:

#(define-markup-command (bookpart-page-number layout props) ()
    (let ((first-page-number (ly:output-def-lookup layout 'first-page-number))
          (page-number (chain-assoc-get 'page:page-number props 0)))
      (interpret-markup layout props
        (number-format
          (ly:output-def-lookup layout 'page-number-type)
          (1+ (- page-number first-page-number))))))

Agreed

Though, what about the table-of-content?
Right now I've not a good idea what should be printed if several
bookparts have equal page-numbers.
