Bug#814036: initramfs-tools: mdadm doesn't assemble disk

Package: mdadm
Version: 3.3.2-5+deb8u1
Followup-For: Bug #814036

Dear Maintainer,

first of all: thank you for providing and maintaining this packeage for Debian!

   * What led up to the situation?

After update to the current version around January, 23rd, or so the home volume does not 
assemble automatically anymore. It is a RAID1 mirroring two disks of identical produce. 
The S.M.A.R.T. does not report anything wrong with the disks. So, during system start-up the 
root volume is checked correctly and then the sequence pauses waiting for the home volume to 
appear for fsck. After 1:30min pause the sequence completes dropping into emergency mode. In 
the emegency shell I issue:

   # mdadm --assemble /dev/mdadm/0

which leads to: 

   mdadm: /dev/md/0 has been started with 2 drives
   [some time] systemd-fsck[some PID]: /sbin/fsck.xfs: XFS file system

after issuing:

   # systemctl default;exit

I get:

   Aufgelegt
   exit

and everything starts as expected.

Currently, I am using 4.2.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 kernel. The issue occurs with the standard kernel 
3.16.0-4-amd64, too. Starting into single mode does not help, either.

Please, give me some hint how to get back to fully automatic start up of the system.
