The patched util-linux from Daniel Hahler in bug #377395 fixed the problem for me. The kernel no longer uses 5 minutes to boot, and there are no long running blkid processes anymore. The patches are only in his private repository so far, so you need to add that to your sources to install. Do remember to run the update-initramfs command after you've upgraded util-linux from his repository though, otherwise you won't see any change.
If more people are helped by his util-linux then perhaps this bug should be marked as a duplicate.
