Hi,

I did a test upgrade from wheezy to sid today to test

>    * move runtime stuff from /dev/.mdadm to /run/mdadm

After the upgrade, I still had a /lib/init/rw/.mdadm directory and
/dev/.mdadm/map but also:

/run/mdadm/autorebuild.pid
/run/mdadm/map
/run/mdadm/monitor.pid


Is it intential or an oversight that /lib/init/rw/.mdadm and /dev/.mdadm were
not cleaned up after the upgrade? After a reboot those leftovers were gone.

Another minor issue I noticed is, that mdadm.8.in and mdmon.8 still reference
the old locations/files:

mdadm.8.in:.BR /dev/.mdadm.map ).
mdadm.8.in:.B /dev/.mdadm.map
mdmon.8:.BR /dev/.mdadm .

Other then that, the package works fine and the test-upgrade went smoothly.

Thanks for your work,
Michael
