Bug#733574: partially breaks initramfs when modules are not included

[Eduard Bloch]

Package: mdadm
Version: 3.3-2
Severity: important

Repro: build a linux-image (kernel)...

 - without md* modules
 - where another initramfs script exists in local-top which is required
   to boot (say: for cryptoroot)

Result: startup fails. The last thing we see is a message from
local-top/mdadm saying it cannot read /proc/mdstat. Then the executions
stops because you used "exit 1" there which drops the user to the
initramfs shell without any explanation.

Btw, grep says there is another occurence of "exit 1" in the script.

Regards,
Eduard.
