Because it keeps the mdmon and supported libraries mapped from within rootfs -- neither of which can be freed after deleted by switch_root. Ie, this way we keep the initial rootfs (the one which comes from initramfs) dirty. --takeover/--offroot (does mdadm running from initramfs sets the latter?) is the way how it is designed to be used. /mjt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
