I believe I prefer option 1, just make another package that includes this
documentation on using mdadm to convert your system to use software raid
as the root partition.

I'm inclined to include it in the mdadm package, or make it an ancillary
documentation, such as mdadm-doc.
I will contact the mdadm package maintainer.

Hi!,
any interest in including documentation on using mdadm to convert a system
to run it's root partition with software raid?
Or should I create another documentation package?
