I plan to work on auto-assembly support in debian in a near future,
so that jessie should definitely have it.

We already use upstream udev rules, for a long time, so this
bugreport makes no sense as it is filed.

However, upstream udev rules as-is wont work because udev as
shipped in debian does not have blkid built-in, so upstream
rules (which uses IMPORT{builtin}=blkid) does not work, and
I had to patch it to use external blkid.  Hence I mark this
bug as wontfix, because I don't want to break mdadm in debian
by switching to upstream rules.

Thanks,
