** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+
+ * Upon installation, RAID devices are not automatically assembled by
+ default as they used to be. Instead of being presented with an assembled
+ RAID array for installation, one is presented with individual disks
+ which probably is not desired by the user, as most of the time RAID
+ arrays are intentional.
+
+ [Test Case]
+
+ * Create a VM with e.g. two disks assembled in a Linux RAID1 using
+ mdadm and not otherwise partitioned / empty.
+
+ * Start the d-i based installer
+
+ * In the partitioning screen one should be presented with a raid device
+ to partition, not individual disks.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+
+ * This is a regression in the bionic release versus Xenial behaviour
+
+ * The udev rules as installed into the udeb package were not processed
+ to substitute template variables for BINDIR location of the mdadm tools.
+ Now the packaging was corrected to install identical udev rules into the
+ deb and udeb package types.
+
+ [Other Info]
+
+ * Original bug report:
+
It is not possible to install Ubuntu on RAID device with IMSM/DDF
metadata. The installer asks if such arrays should be activated but
fails to do it.
