I agree with Jauder. There's no way I'd drop the LUN if a device
only has one. You could extend the argument to drop the host and
channel number too. Hey! You could even drop the id for a single disc
system:
/dev/sd_p2		was	/dev/sd_h0c0i0l0p2

Bullshit!

Personally, I'd be more inclined to drop the channel part, since I
expect there is more chance that I'll have multi-LUN devices than
multi-channel hosts adaptors.
You can see where this argument leads. Forget it. Set up symlinks
instead if you really care.
