And that fact alone makes it a non-RC bug -- if it's even a bug at all. Changing the way the root filesystem is mounted without performing a reinstallation is something that's fairly advanced. I'm not saying we shouldn't support people who wish to do something like that, but if they do it, they should make sure that whatever configuration they're using afterwards is still a valid configuration. Having a root filesystem on a logical volume, specified by UUID, is not strictly a valid configuration. It may work if you're not using snapshots, but it might have unforeseen consequences. So Don't Do That Then(TM). If Debian exhibits "wrong" behaviour upon encountering a "strange" configuration that, while valid, is not possible to generate using any of Debian's tools, then that is probably a bug; but I fail to see why it should be release-critical. -- Copyshops should do vouchers. So that next time some bureaucracy requires you to mail a form in triplicate, you can mail it just once, add a voucher, and save on postage.
