Don't count dapper out yet. There was a proposal on IRC (#ubuntu-devel), where the initramfs would retain the UUID of the root device. If the device in question failed to appear or mount (/dev/hda in this case), then it would fall back to looking for the correct UUID on some other device (/dev/hde in this case).
Not sure how soon this will happen, but I have high hopes that it will end up in dapper.
