Package: mdadm
Version: 3.2.5-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch upstream

mdmon utility has a few issues which were fixed in next upstream bugfix
release (3.2.6), namely:

  --takeover mistakenly (re)sets container_name, so eg --all --takeover
    does not work

    http://git.neil.brown.name/git?p=mdadm.git;h=68ad53b301b6fc722fee6d32a5267c1a4506452d

 -a is not being recognized as as synonym for --all

   git.neil.brown.name/git?p=mdadm.git;h=23084aaa76d9fc3121ff2ab38c04ee9893793e00
 --takeover does not work when original was started with --offroot

  git.neil.brown.name/git?p=mdadm.git;h=c4e96a305fbca4f83ae9f3a81482481524380905

This does not affect wheezy much because we don't support imsm arrays
and don't run mdmon, but it is a pre-requiriment for running mdmon.
