Hmm, I just tried and it didn't work. I said "all" (which is correct, I have one array which is my root file system). However, it still went to the endless loop (without asking the question again). Actually, wouldn't that happen for any incorrect input? Old questions aren't usually asked again. Some testing shows that I did get further, it is now actually running the postinst (and failing that) instead of the preconfigure. /etc/default/mdadm.conf still mentioned /dev/md/0 though. Changing that to "all" as well made it work. I didn't test the resulting initrd, but looking at the messages I suppose it did the right thing.
