Short of having udev duplicate the device nodes, no. You can of course switch to mount by label/uuid and get rid of the 'classical' device names. Which is, I believe, more or less the targeted long-term solution. Note that the names are not the real problem with this step but that sd* allows for less partitions per device than hd*. Steffen
