Actually, I'm not sure how to do that.  I tried, but the chroot is set
up and mdadm is installed during the "Installing the base system"
step.  Even with the expert install there's no opportunity to change
things after apt/dpkg but before mdadm.  And I don't see a way to
select more than one repository before the base install.  I suppose I
could put together my own repository mirror with this updated package.

However, I think it's not necessary -- I did the install again on both
amd64 and i386 now that mdadm 2.5.3.git200608202239-7 is in testing,
and everything is working fine on both systems.  It installs without a
problem, and everything works properly on the new system.
