Bug#496130: base-installer: apt-install'ed packages do not have their debconf questions translated

Hmmm, reading this, I understand that there are situations where mdadm
templates are used during the installation.

If we follow the theory that drove us up to now, it means that mdadm
should be added to one of the D-I "levels", similarly to xorg, samba,
popcon and a few other "regular" packages that are likely to display
something during some kind of installs.

I would then be tempted to add mdadm to "level 4" as it will be used
only in some "specific" situations. Am I right ?

If I do so, I would probably need to talk with mdadm maintainers and
get commit access in their workplace as adding the package to a D-I
level will immediatly trigger a bunch of incoming translations.
