Using UUIDs is a -terrible- idea when you can use e.g.:
NAME=ftp-base   /ftp  ffs     rw,log,noexec,nodev,noatime,nocoredump  1 2
instead.  We 'just' need to start supporting gpt in sysinst.

UUIDs are seriously not human friendly. As soon as you cannot cut&paste,
they are downright human hostile, especially if you have a lot
of an element that use them.
