There's one more thing missing in there: mdmon should be re-started from real root after switching from rootfs -- the takeover. I guess it needs to be added to mdadm-raid.
Is that really necessary? Can't we just leave it as-is, so the number of changes is minimized for now? On systems that don't have external metadata arrays (i.e. most of them) mdmon won't be running anyway.
BTW, why mdadm-waitidle is a separate script? Can't we fold it into mdadm-raid directly?
Well no, because it needs to run after all filesystems have been unmounted and root is read-only. Unless ofcourse you change mdadm-raid to run after root has been remounted read-only, but I do not know what consequences that change would have.
The more I think about this all, the more it looks like it is too heavily change for wheezy. I understand the situation, but I still think it is not a good idea in general. Oh well.
Well I still think this is more a bugfix than a new feature, since right now the functionality is there, it's just broken.
