RFS: mdadm

[Tim Gokcen]

I have uploaded a new version of mdadm which, on top of the previous 
fixes, also fixes the FTBS bug 625392 and bug 63380. I am therefore 
still/again seeking a sponsor for my NMU of package "mdadm".

This upload is a fix for two trivial bugs opened against the current 
mdadm package, as well as an FTBS in unstable and a small bug in the 
kernel version detection system that could prevent boot (on non-Debian 
systems).

The upstream version is considerably ahead of what is currently in 
Debian repositories, although the Debian VCS (git) version is more up to 
date, but the Debian maintainer is not currently able to update the 
repository and I do not feel qualified in pulling from upstream or the 
Debian VCS, only in fixing these two nuisance issues which have been 
reported against the current version.

I would like to push this package into stable after it has sat in 
unstable & testing for a suitable soak period; Debian developer Philipp 
Kern has indicated that this would be possible in regards to Debian bug 
598957 <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=598957>, one of 
the two problems fixed in this upload. The other fix is for Debian bug 
605722 <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=605722>, which 
is actual a partial regression of bug 510641 
<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=510641>.
