UUID in fstab for device mapper devices?

Hi all,
Attempt to summarize the discussion so far (please correct):
1) We should use /dev/mapper/ paths rather than UUID in the fstab
entries for all device mapper devices.
2) For some type of device mapper devices (multipath), using the
/dev/disk/by-id/ symlinks would be better than /dev/mapper/.
If there is rough concensus about this, I would go ahead and make
the change to use /dev/mapper in partman-target.
I would like to do so soon, because the current use of UUIDs breaks
rootLV-on-cryptoPV ("Encrypted LVM") installs in d-i.
The /dev/disk/by-id/ improvement for specific types can then be
considered and worked on separately.
Sounds good? Objections?
Max
