Please unblock package mdadm It contains a single noticeable change which fixes a bug which is important for upgrades from wheezy -- #770883 (https://bugs.debian.org/770883). The original problem is that udev in wheezy does not understand $devnode variable in its .rules file, so new mdadm will not work with old udev, and mdadm does not declare versioned dependency on udev. Instead of introducing a versioned dependency (with larger breakage potential), I decided to fix this by using a variant of .rules file which will work equally well with both old and new versions of udev. There are 2 other changes in the package - adding forgotten bug numbers into debian/changelog to the points/versions when these bugs has been fixed. The package has been in testing in this form for a long time already. When unblocking mdadm, it should be unblocked for the debian installer too since it produces udeb too.
