Debian dude has fixed it. A years-old FreeBSD instalation had left a ZFS 
signature on sdX6 (how?!) which broke things (why?).

Anyway, cleared it with wipefs and everything is hunky-dory now.

Good eevening,

I'm a bit puzzled by Linux' (Debian) reluctance to assign a UUID to /home. I even 
re-installed Debian with a smaller /home and I have tried all the known tools for 
assigning a UUID to /home. Nothing works and half the time my laptop won't boot because 
Linux switches the two disk assignments around (another Linux "feature").

It's odd. Setting a UUID is silently ignored and blkid also ignores the device. 
I tried deleting and recreating the filesystem but that didn't make any 
difference.
