One comment and one question so far:

partman-auto-raid/init.d/initial_auto_raid seems to contain a copy of
confirm_changes() from partman-base/definitions.sh

Would it be possible to use lvm on top of the md device? The reason that
I'm asking is that it would allow all the existing recipies to be used, no
separate recipe format would be necessary for RAID (just preseed disk and
raid level) and much of the heavy lifting could be done by
partman-auto-lvm once partman-auto-raid has setup the md device.

In addition I think it would make it much easier to hook up
partman-auto-raid to the partman-auto UI.

Regards,
David
