Punting this back to mdadm after a discussion with smoser. We agreed (ish) back in August[1] that it would be acceptable to drop the Recommends to a Suggests if an motd snippet was added to the cronjob output to inform people on login of their degraded arrays. This isn't perfect for people who never log in, but then again, there are people who also never configure an MTA, so it seems like a decent compromise.
