Package: partman-base

As I understand it, RAID devices are being transitioned from /dev/mdX 
to /dev/md/X. Currently parted_devices (or probably rather libparted), 
still returns the former, even if a RAID device was created as the latter.

This is if both block device files exist. If the former does not exist, 
parted_devices fails to list the device.

As partman prefers the latter notation over the former, the fact that 
parted_devices does not support the latter causes problems, for example in 
partman-base's init.d/parted script.

This BR is filed mostly as a reminder. See also #475479.

Closing as the initial assumption was wrong.

Partman and mdcfg have now been changed to consistently use /dev/mdX. See 
commit log for changes in partman-md 41 and mdcfg 1.25 for further 
information.
