Maybe this could be of some help to you in debugging this further.

Apr 16 00:34:11 debian-sanboot systemd[1]: Started Device-Mapper Multipath
Device Controller.
Apr 16 00:34:11 debian-sanboot systemd-udevd[949]: conflicting device node
'/dev/mapper/sanroot' found, link to '/dev/dm-0' will not be created


So I think my understanding was correct about Device Mapper's behavior. Now I'm
not sure what 'systemd-udevd[949]' is reflecting here as. I doubt if that is the
ID for the rules processing because then I'd have seen the respective rule.

I hope this is of some use to you. My Debian time for today is running out :-)
