In fact, GNU/Mach already supports UUIDs and it is also used for the Hurd installation ISO images hosted by Samuel Thibault [1]. This Hurd version uses GRUB2 as well without any problems. The aforementioned problem actually occurred when upgrading from GRUB1 to GRUB2 while upgrading the machine from Debian Lenny to Squeeze which meant upgrading from device names to UUIDs. The same machine had a dual-boot installation with Debian GNU/Hurd installed over crosshurd [2]. So rather an exotic individual case which should not occur anymore since people can use the Debian GNU/Hurd installation ISO images with a working Debian Installer. In any case, it's still nice to have GRUB fixed to the right thing in any case and we can close this bug once the new upstream version of GRUB2 has been packaged =).
