Did you remove all Logical Volumes, Volume Groups and Physical Volumes
before changing the RAID 1 partitions?
partman have a locking mechanism that is already used for crypto that
prevent such problems by not allowing partitions in use to be changed.
Unfortunately, the changes required to use this mechanism for RAID are
too invasive for Lenny (two d-i components needs to be merged before
adding the feature).
