Installed the 3.1.2 package on a machine and ...

it was the first time mdadm --incremental actually succeeded in re-
adding a drive when it was attached to an ubuntu machine after booting.
Thumbs up!

You wrote about /var/run/map, but in the running system I see mdadm
created /var/run/mdadm.map and /var/run/mdadm only contains monitor.pid,
is that intended?

I think instead of recreating the dir on every boot, it could be added
to the initramfs staging area with the mdadm's /debian/initramfs/hook
script (mkdir -p <$var-containig-staging-rootpoint>/var/run/mdadm) and
thus be added to the image.

What I haven't checked is if udev is stopped when the initramfs map file
is copied so no new devices show up and may be written to the old
location until the real root fs is set up and used.
