Possible bug in initramfs config, mdadm not actually waiting for udev?

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

Hello,

local-top script has been deprecated and in Debian Unstable a
local-block script is used instead which, integrates into the
initramfs-tools mainloop to periodically scan for new devices and
assemble them as they come up.

Could you try the initramfs-tools integration in Debian Unstable perhaps?

Regards,

Dimitri.
