Bug#381181: fails to create initramfs with /dev/md/X version-0 arrays and /dev/mdX nodes present

Package: mdadm
Version: 2.5.2-9
Severity: important

If the system uses /dev/md/X names with version-0 superblocks and
/dev/mdX nodes exist, the initramfs hook fails as it compares
devices according to /proc/mounts with the output of mdadm -E. The
former will have /dev/md/X, the latter will print /dev/mdX, so no
match and no RAID stuff installed to the initramfs.
