In that case, the mdadm package maintainer(s) might consider
reassigning this (and similar) bug(s) to the kernel package
maintainers so that can apply that patch to the linux kernel 2.6.26,
before lenny is released, so you avoid getting similar bug reports.

The bug may be harmless, but it scared the hell out of me.
