If anyone else ran into the same problem (I found similar
descriptions via Google) and is thinking of trying it, don't do it.
Although it seemed to work at first, RAID wasn't actually working, and for some
reason I got *extremely* poor performance and responsiveness after a while, like
a Windows box thoroughly infested with viruses/adware.

I looked in /etc/mkinitrd/mkinitrd.conf and didn't see
anything obvious to change. I hadn't altered it since installing with the d-i
rc2 installer about a month ago.
Anyway, fwiw, now that 2.6.10 is in Debian, I built a new
kernel using make-kpkg --initrd and it installed and booted without any
problems. I don't know what has changed other than the newer kernel, but
the problem seems to have gone away.

(sorry for following office-generated legalese)
p.s. Is this the right list for this sort of thing or should
it go to debian-kernel? I posted here because it was a sort of "boot"
problem, but it seems this is really the installation list.
