While it is perhaps the case (as is argued in 428318) that blkid cannot
be expected to be omniscient and choose the correct signature, the
reality is that this is a regression in functionality and telling people
to reformat is not really very good.
Perhaps it would therefore be useful for do-release-upgrade to perform a
quick test to see if the mounted filesystems have ambivalent results
with a new blkid and if so either refuse to upgrade until the user has
fixed the situation, or if we have a high degree of trust in the tools,
remove the signatures which don't match the filesystem type which the
partition is actually mounted as.
