mdadm is know to be broken when installing in a chroot without having /proc mounted, maintainer should check for /proc in the maintainer scripts (and don't do anything if /proc isn't there, hence reassigning to mdadm). temporary workaround: install mdadm when you've booted the live system, then it works. and yes, mounting /proc in the chroot is not a solution, because: * there are cases where it is not possible to unmount a mounted /proc in a chroot if certain (unkillable) processes access it. since only rebooting the whole system helps, we do not mount /proc in the chroot. * mdadm maintainer scripts do read out /proc to scan for raid devices. if your host system has a raid, you end up with a preconfigured mdadm in your live-system, which is not (or not always intentionally) what you want.
