I haven't done a review of this yet, but a good review of mdadm.sh thing is definitely needed.

How did you generate the source package with them in place?

Also, can you please tag an sign the current squeeze release of the
package in git - I think it is commit da26e80d60958f33b493a06438a2d172895ef1cd.

I added a fix for #605722 into master, created maint/squeeze branch
from da26e80d609, and cherry-picked fixes from master to maint/squeeze,
fixing 7 bugs:

Since git.d.o is currently down I can't push my changes into it now,
will do tomorrow.  How do you guys think - is this ok for stable-p-u
upload?

Note the package _still_ FTBFS on wheezy/sid due to #625392, which I
think is pointless to fix for squeeze (it builds there just fine),
and which is fixed in upstream for a new version to be uploaded
for unstable later.

If that's ok with you, I'll push changes (once git.d.o is back again)
and upload.  But I want to understand how the docs are generated,
before I can upload.

Thanks,

/mjt
