Option to use /dev values instead of UUID values

There was once a lot of noise about the Ubuntu installer writing
partitions' UUID in fstab instead of using the conventional /dev
values. I just got around to filing a feature request for it:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/538959

However, it was marked as WONTFIX as there is a kernel parameter for
this already, and the dev who looked at the bug does not think that
this option should be visible in the UI. Please comment on that bug
and ask for it to be reopened if you would like the installer to use
/dev notation.

Thanks.
