I don't know how invasive those changes might be. AFAIK Ubuntu already
does it (Colin?) and wouldn't be too hard to pick the changes from
them but we would also need RM and Frans approval :(
initramfs-tools already supports using /dev/disk/by-* entries in fstab. As
for the installer, I'm not sure that looking at Ubuntu will help since
they use something different than d-i for the regular installs (and I
don't know if their d-i based installer has any
mount-by-label/uuid/whatever fixes).
It would be pretty simple to implement as a late_command script though,
quick pseudo-code:
...
I've attached a patch which implements persistent device names in
partman by checking for devices which are mounted under /target and
which have a suitable link in /dev/disk/by-id/*
For each device that is found, /target/etc/fstab is modified
appropriately.
I've done one test install using the patch and it sucessfully changed
/dev/sda1 to /dev/disk/by-id/ata-QEMU_HARDDISK_QM00001-part1 in
/target/etc/fstab, it's currenlty busy installing the base system.
I believe this patch would fix #225802, #295134, #308565, #389881
