No, I come along at S25 and I do not give a flying food for whether
/dev/md0 exists or not. I just create all /dev/md* nodes, regardless
of whether some or all already exist, iff udev is being used.

It's intended to make it through testing. sarge will not release
without mdadm, or when mdadm has an RC bug.

No, that's not an option. This is Debian, after all. :)

Thanks!

I think it would be best if you could file a new (wishlist) bug
against mdadm and attach the patch to that, so that we can treat the
two as separate issues.
