* Fixing cron registration for checkarray. crontab(5) is really stupid and
  makes me think that they simply documented a bug instead of fixing it, so
  now I have to hack around it. See the cron.d file (closes: #380425).

   * Removed the code writing auto-detected devices to /var, which was silly
     since /var isn't necessarily mounted yet by the time mdadm-raid is called.
     Thanks to Maurizio Avogadro for pointing this out.
