I agree. That is why I used UUID for the fstab entries. But this drive
ordering issue is specific to the installer. The preseed is expecting
a /dev/sd* type of entry in order for partman to partition the correct
drive...or in my case (using software RAID1) drives.
If I understand correctly, the issue is not drive ordering but the
preseed capability to handle persistent drive identifiers.
