Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: debian-installer

Looks similar to #40186, but that is closed.

Outline:
With edgy it's no longer possible to access first hard-drive with preseed as 
/dev/discs/disc0/disc, only as /dev/sda or /dev/hda. So it's impossible to 
create a preseed file that is hardware-independent.

Problem:
With dapper it's possible to define the first disc as:
d-i     partman-auto/disk       string /dev/discs/disc0/disc

With edgy it's only possible to define the first disc as:
d-i     partman-auto/disk       string /dev/sda
or
d-i     partman-auto/disk       string /dev/hda

** Affects: debian-installer (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed

Why is the possibillity to access /dev/discs removed in edgy?
