Bug#486119: Proposed fix to update-grub_lib to stop unwanted 'search --fs-uuid'

   I propose that a grub option be added to disable all uses of UUIDS, 
and that this option be made the default, given that automatically 
generating grub.cfg boot entries can result in a non-booting system, and 
that many people prefer human-readable config file entries in the Unix 
tradition and not a bunch of hexadecimal garbage in our fstabs and boot 
config files.

   Failing that, I propose that a boot loader which does not require the 
use of UUIDs be made the standard Debian bootloader.
