This is more tricky that it looks. debvm-run uses the label "debvm" to
locate the root filesystem. If I were to change the label here,
debvm-run would have to guess it somehow. That seems non-trivial and
prone for errors. The label being debvm is part of interface.

At this time, I do not quite see why you would want to change the label
and I also do not quite see how debvm-run would communicate the location
of the rootfs to the kernel unless using the label. Do you have an
answer for either questions?

(Please do remove the moreinfo tag with your response.)
