That's udev. Does your fstab use /dev/hdX, labels or uuids?
Whatever it currently uses, you *should* use labels in fstab; and when not
possible (fancy fs, whatever), UUIDs.
To reference the block device anywhere else, use /dev/disk/by-label/<...>
When not possible or not such a good idea (removable drives,..), there are
also subdirectories to reference by disk ID (generated with the model/serial
numbers,..), path (physical) or UUID.
If you don't want to use these paths, you can generate your own symlinks via
custom udev rules. I would *not* recommend renaming the drives with fixed
"kernel names" ([sh]d[a-z]) in order to "reorder them". I had some issues
trying to do that in the past, and in the end I realized it would only add
useless confusion.
So, it's not a bug, you should just not rely on these names.
