Both "MD_DEVS=none" and the non-existence
"/lib/udev/rules.d/64-md-raid-rules" in your initrd are from
"/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/mdadm" which sources
"/etc/default/mdadm" - in which you have non-default values.
Rather than stay with your manual addition of a script to your initrd,
I'd adjust the values in "/etc/default/mdadm" and regenerate the
initrd. If you don't, the next time that it's regenerated, you'll
eventually reboot into an initramfs shell.
