That's a separate bug.  The patch I added to Debian workarounds detection of
partition map module, not raid.  As for the latter, see below..

Please get this in upstream first.  I don't want to add such divergence in
the package unless it's accepted in upstream.

As for the upstream side, I can't commit it there as I don't have any
expertise on RAID issues.  Hopefuly Jeroen will look at it (and perhaps
the solution he finds adequate is completely different -e.g. in the C
part of the program).
