Oh, at least one additional thing that's likely needed in this scenario
is the attached patch to make busybox's mkswap generate UUIDs.
* util-linux/mkswap.c: Set UUIDs on version 1 swap areas.
* util-linux/Makefile.in: mkswap needs uuid/uuid.h from e2fsprogs.
* e2fsprogs/Makefile.in: Build libuuid if building mkswap.
Ubuntu's volumeid.postinst also has some nasty code to add a UUID to
swap partitions that don't have one (due to busybox's mkswap not doing
this in the past). This was necessary because we were expecting to have
to change a lot of hard disk device names due to recent libata changes
in the kernel and forcibly moving over to UUIDs in /etc/fstab in advance
was the only way we could think of to prevent wholesale breakage.
UUIDs certainly have their disadvantages (verbosity being the main one),
but they're a hell of a lot better than labels for automatic use like
this. UUIDs are suitable for automatic generation while labels should
only be set by the sysadmin. The fiasco with Red Hat's installer setting
labels which can then end up conflicting with itself if you do multiple
parallel installs should demonstrate this (and some of the people
involved in Anaconda development said to me in person that in hindsight
this was probably a mistake). We've already backed away from automatic
use of labels once (http://bugs.debian.org/310754) so let's not have to
do so again!
