I am not 100% happy with the way mdadm does things right now. It's
"auto-magic" and I *hate* that too. Or rather: I love Debian for not
being auto-magic all over.

If you agree: http://bugs.debian.org/537993 ;)

That would do the trick iff RAIDs were assembled by the kernel,
which only happens if md is compiled into the kernel (rather than
loaded from initrd as a module), which is not the case in vanilla
Debian, so feel free to set your partition types to /anything/ else.
