Those long strings aren't from Ubuntu. Redhat and all the others use them as well... They allow you to rearrange the physical drives in your system and not have issues booting the system back up. Like if you add a new drive and didn't pay attention to slave/master on IDE, or which SATA port each drive was connected to.
I don't know why Ubuntu uses those long text strings instead of /dev/whatever, but /dev/sda6 /home still works.

What is the procedure to add my previous /home partition that was on
