Ah sorry for the confusion. It did not break boot. Having finding
disabled would have "broken" boot. The problem I was talking about
was that with finding enabled, no dm devices were generated, which
it turned out, was not entirely true - you had to run multipath
manually (due to your find implies -n commit). 

It seems to me that this would cause more issues in practice than
just keeping the slightly race-y combination enabled. It's something
to revisit after the ubuntu lts when then people have some time to
adjust to that change.
