According to Maximilian this is probably in the mdadm part of the 
initramfs-tools scripts. Please consult with him if needed.

I'm also a bit confused about the need for the extra parameters the 
submitter added in silo.conf
    append="md=0,/dev/sda2,/dev/sdb2,md=1,/dev/sda3,/dev/sdb3
AFAIK mdadm should take care of that by itself.

Cheers,
