IIRC 2.4 kernels used c0d0p1 and 2.6 kernels used the other format or
something like this, so who initially contributed the script choose the
old format since it would be more compatible.
As an extra data point, I have a SuSE system installed a few years ago
with static c0d0p1-like devices.

Does d-i really really need another script to generate disc/part
devices? They are hard to manage (creation requires locking) and I'd
rather not spend time trying to support an highly deprecated interfaces.
