I would add that Squeeze probably does not write the MBR to all disks at

an expert install (that you are already using since you are installing
RAID and LVM) you can write the MBR to each disk.
It doesn't matter much what the squeeze installer does. THis system was
installed using at the latest by the lenny installer, and possibly even
the etch installer, and has been upgraded from stable release to stable
release for a very long time.
Everything is very much post-installation1
After installation, say during the installation of a new kernel or an
update to GRUB, you will be asked which disks to write the MBR to by the
installation script, so you're okay there. It's only during the initial
installation where you might have to manually intervene.
It never asks me during upgrades.
