mdadm is installed on every system using software RAID partitions.
The templates allowing one to define software RAID partitions in
mdcfg-utils are in sublevel 3.

That would make mdadm sublevel 3 to me, but mdadm should not ask
questions at high priority, so sublevel 4 would be fine, if I did get a
proper grasp of the logic beyond sublevels… :)
