Comments/Problems:

Installer offers to create software RAID arrays from partitions
marked as RAID members, but does not support raid10 which was a
show-stopper for the installation of this server with 4 disks,
intended to be almost entirely on raid10.

Switching to a terminal and issuing lsmod I could see the raid0, 1
and 5 modules loaded but no raid10.  raid10 module was also not
present in the filesystem so I assume it is not supported.

Of course it is not possible to boot from raid10, which is why I
intended to create a small /boot in raid1, but I wanted everything
else in raid10.

In the end I booted from a livecd and installed by debootstrap.

Obviously a bit of a fringe case, but "it would be nice".

Support for RAID10 has been added in mdcfg 1.27 which is already in
daily built images.
