Don't use device names that are dynamically assigned based on discovery order
(e.g. /dev/sdxN).
Use /dev/disk/by-{label,uuid,id,path}, if possible; the stock Debian udev
rules should create appropriate symlinks in these directories.
Failing that, write your own udev rule that reflects how you would identify
the device based on what the kernel "sees" and what name you would like
assigned to it.
