I had time for this today and I found the reason for this: with the old
rules there was PTXCONF_IMAGE_UBI_ROOT_VOL_NAME which was set to
'rootfs0' here. With the new rules this parameter is gone and instead
there's a line 'name = "root"' hardcoded in config/images/ubifs.config
which lead to not mounting this and not finding that and so on. I could
fix this by adapting our uboot environment and startup scripts.

I suppose I could also have copied the config/images/ubifs.config to our
BSP and edit the name there?
