** Description changed:

  The new code to lowercase all UUIDs is breaking NTFS mounts because
  those have UPPERcase UUIDs exclusivly.  The correct fix would be to make
  blkid handle this as it knows what range of values the various UUIDs
  have and whether upper/lower casing them is even safe.
  
  For initramfs-tools it is clear we should be checking that the UUIDs
  unmodified before attempting to change their case.  This guearentees
  existing installs are never affected.  We should likely also only case
  map those in a known UUID format which is case insensitive.
+ 
+ NOTE: the bug herein was only exposed in -proposed and found by testers
+ on Bug #1548120, thanks goes to them.
