I prepared a package for mdadm containing a patch to fix bug #784070
(https://bugs.debian.org/784070) which prevents booting a software RAID
1 in degraded mode. The diff is attached to this message.

The previous package maintainer (Michael Tokarev) confirmed the source of the problem (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=784070#49) and
several users confirmed that the patch fixes the bug. Moreover, the new
package maintainer (Dimitri John Ledkov, CC of this mail) agreed with this
solution and gave me his consent to proceed with the upload
(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=784070#230).

I do slightly worry that this may re-introduce issues that the use of incremental assembly was intended to work around, but from reading the bug report it seems that the issues with incremental assembly are probably now affecting more users.

Please go ahead with the upload. I've CCed the installer list to ensure that they're aware of the change.

Regards,

Adam
