It's #273182, but I was told by Marco d'Itri that it's hard to solve
this in the kernel atm.
Therefore, I'm reassigning to mdadm -- which is the package failing to
start on missing md* nodes. I think that since this bug is hard to solve
in udev (should it create md* always, even if one hasn't RAID at all?)
or the kernel (autostarting simply isn't possible in modular md, it
seems), it would be appropriate for mdadm to while scanning partitions
for RAID parts to assamble, to create md device nodes as needed, in
stead of failing on the non-exitance of them.
