Package: mdadm
Version: 2.5.5-1
Severity: normal
Hello,
This is related to BTS #398084.
After a fresh install of mdadm, dpkg --purge does not purge /etc/mdadm/*
as expected.
~$ LANG=C ls -l /etc/mdadm
ls: /etc/mdadm: No such file or directory
$ LANG=C sudo aptitude install mdadm

Removing mdadm ...
W: mdadm: I'll update the initramfs, but if you need MD to boot
W: mdadm: with initramfs, you'll be screwed!

Purging configuration files for mdadm ...

And mdadm is playing with initrd again which is uneeded/wanted (#398084).
