This bug was last touched 9 years ago.  We have been using uuids
exclusively in grub for some time, and have not had recent reports of
this issue.  Presuming this is resolved and closing.

Title:
  Grub Installer uses device name instead of UUID, leading to unbootable
  system

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  After completing a fresh install, the grub.cfg on the target system
  uses the device name as the root= kernel parameter instead of the
  UUID, causing the system to fail to boot if the devices are enumerated
  differently.  Running update-grub on the target system regenerates the
  config file correctly using the UUID.
