There is ELILO in Debian. It is not in the installer, but I suppose they 
can switch to elilo or port it's UEFI code to lilo.

 fdisk also gives some disk id. 

You can also use boot script like this to static numerize your drives:

rm /dev/myhdd-0 /dev/myhdd-1
m=`cat /sys/block/sda/device/model`
if test "$m" = "HDD0MODEL"; then
    ln -s sda /dev/myhdd-0
    ln -s sdb /dev/myhdd-1
else
    ln -s sdb /dev/myhdd-0
    ln -s sda /dev/myhdd-1
fi

Then enter /dev/myhdd-0 /dev/myhdd-1 in your fstab.

Get literate, get enlighted - read Orwell's very exciting, interesting, 
beautiful novel "1984" and Fromm's anti-fascist book "Escape from Freedom".
