this will break on upgrades /dev/hdXX nodes will go away soon, the
kernel operates on partition signatures since quite some time as most of
the userspace tools do as well (and this is not even remotely a ubuntu
thing, read up on udev and the upstream kernel changes, its all
online) ... to get the signature of a partition (which automatically
gets set by all formatting tools of all OSes out there (its not a
Label)) use the vol_id or blkid commands.

i'd strongly suggest to not give such advise on a mailing list before
you made sure to unserstand why something is there and why the
developers implemented it like that. uuids are used by default in ubuntu
since the edgy release, i suggest to read up on them ...
