Okay, this should be switched to use UUIDs instead of device names as
device names are unreliable. Most likely, this is also a change that
needs to be made in grub-installer.

Yep. That's why device names are really bad despite the Unix traditionalist
insisting that any changes in this regard are bad.

Alright. So GRUB is correctly configured to use UUIDs, it's just the fstab
that has got the wrong entry that we need to deal with.
