No it didn't.  The issue is because upstream renamed (split)
one 64-md-raid.rules file (which had both incremental assembly
and /dev/disk/by-* links creation) into two files,
64-md-raid-assembly.rules and 63-md-raid-arrays.rules.
But the initramfs hook script looks for the old name,
and missing that, does not provide /dev/disk/* links.

Renaming 63-md-raid-arrays.rules to 64-md-raid.rules (the old
name) does not work because -assembly sorts wrongly with it.

And merely changing the hook script to look for different (new)
name isn't sufficient because we need to check for user overrides
in /etc/udev/rules.d/ somehow...  oh well.

I'll fix the hook script to use the new name for _now_, just to
fix the breakage this upload caused, and will try to think how
to do the transition later.

Thanks,
