finish-install.d/65partman-md reads:
CF=/target/etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf
if ... then
mkdir -p /target/etc/mdadm
echo "# Autogenerated by partman-md. See mdadm.conf(5) for more details
on this file." > /etc/mdadm.conf
echo "DEVICE partitions" >> $CF
...
and all subsequent lines adds information to $CF.
But the very first line, the "Autogenerated.." header
line, is put into d-i filesystem, where it is not used.
The intention was, obviously, to put it to target
mdadm.conf, ie, to $CF.
Appended patch does just that. While at it, it also
replaces argument of mkdir to be ${CF%/*}, to keep
path info in only one place, in CF variable assignment
( ${var%pattern} construct works with dash too).
Thanks,
