Package: mdadm
Version: 1.8.1-1
Severity: important

1.8.1 has a severe bug making all newly created RAID arrays get assigned
the same exact UUID, regardless og time or even what machine it runs on.

The UUID in question is "6b8b4567:327b23c6:643c9869:66334873", do a
google search on it, not very unique eh? :)

This breaks stuff like array discovery severely if more than one array
is present, and may make moving arrays around between machines that used
1.8.1 to create arrays a real PITA. I just had LVM corrupt a array from
this.

I'd vote for getting 1.8.0 into sarge before this has time to manifest
itself permanently on other peoples systems.
