Yeah, that would be a fix. However, it is still a reactive fix that
happens after you have the "WTF! Why isn't my file server booting?"
heart attack precipitator that every sysadmin hates.

If it's bug, it's darn dumb bug - did not a single upgrade tester have
/deb/hda* in their fstab?

If it was a design decision, to integrate the IDE & SCSI drivers and
give all harddrives a consistent set of device names (a decision that I
find understandable and that I myself might make in a similar decision),
why didn't the upgrade testers add a script to the package that would
rewrite fstab to s/hd([a-z][0-9])/sd\1/ so this problem wouldn't happen?
