Package: mdadm
Version: 2.5.6-9
Severity: minor

mdadm.conf(5):
     symlinks=no
            Normally when creating devices in /dev/md/ mdadm will create
            a matching symlink from /dev/ with a name starting md or md_.
            Give symlinked=no to suppress this symlink creation.  
                        ^^
