OK, it seem there is consensus. (last chance to protest! :) )

I have committed the attached change to partman-target which

Log:
Use /dev/mapper/ paths instead of UUID to refer to device 
mapper devices in /etc/fstab.

Those names are meant to be stable and result in simpler
and clearer fstab entries.
