I don't know how "speaking" the device names are in practice. They are
not stable and what is sda1 under one install can be sdb1 under another
one. Perhaps we should use some other kind of identifier for this.

This is improper. This string can be translated and e.g. '(на /dev/xxx)'
or '(auf /dev/xxx)' won't match '(on /dev/xxx)'. "$menuentry_id_option
'osprober-" should be used instead (and (on ...) be kept in or-way for
backward compatibility).
