Bug#1034610: grub-common no longer supports labels

Package: grub-common
Version: 2.06-8
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

Dear Maintainer,

After upgrading to latest version of grub-common and kernel, the system
wouldn't boot up with the latest kernel. The device paths changed, sda1
to sdb1. I noticed that the grub config changed to use UUIDs, however
/etc/default/grub is set to use LABELS. Which is something I prefer to
do.

It seems that grub-mkinfo no longer supports the GRUB_ENABLE_LINUX_LABEL
parameters and has to be re-written for it to work.


There's a patch in #568084, but I'm not entirely sure it'll work. And I
don't want to use UUIDs at all.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Dario Susman
