How to prevent changing UUIDs on install?

[Dotan Cohen]

Ubuntu has been using UUIDs in Grub instead of the traditional /dev/*
setup for a few versions now. One thing that bothers me is that the
UUIDs change when installing a new system, so other bootable
partitions no longer can access the partition in which a new distro
was installed. How can one intall Ubuntu yet have it keep the old UUID
for the partition that it is being installed onto?
