I added a config option which lets the user choose between the usage of UUID, LABEL and partition number.

Seems to work fine, but I don't know how to make option GRUB_USE_PARTIDTYPE visible from /etc/default/gru:

# Uncomment if you don't want GRUB to pass "root=UUID=xxx" parameter to Linux
GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID="true"
# JPT: use uuid, label or partition
GRUB_USE_PARTIDTYPE="label"

Please see attached diffs, too.
