I can confirm the fix in hardy-proposed (at least it mostly fixes it).
Right after installing "find / -gid 999" gives 112 locations. After installing base-files from hardy-proposed (and rebooting) I am down to 4 locations:
/media/floppy0
/media/floppy
/dev/.static/dev/mapper
/dev/.static/dev/mapper/control
