mdadm does work which udev could/should be doing. I am not too much
of a udev friend, and we must not depend on it, but prepare for
mdadm and udev to cooperate much closer post-lenny.

The way mdadm finds and assembles its components is by scanning
disks or partitions (DEVICE setting, or -c option) for superblocks.
The whole process is somewhat twisted and I hope we can rework it
one day.
