You really want to CC the current mdadm maintainer for your NMU, done
with this mail; 'my package "mdadm"' is a bit ambiguous in this case
as well.

Unlikely, given that your proposed NMU is FTBS when building in an
unstable environment because of http://bugs.debian.org/625392.
[ On a very personal note, I'd like to see http://bugs.debian.org/633880
fixed/ applied myself, while not critical for Debian's current kernel
versioning, the patch has been accepted upstream[1] post 3.2.2. ]
