Bug Description
I was testing an installation of a current image with Qemu.
Just after the creation of RAID partitions with partman, I was trying to
configure md devices, but mdcfg stopped with an error (it said that there are no
unused partitions of type "Linux RAID autodetect"). I am sure that the
partitions don't contain any file system.
At first, I thought the problem was due to the absence of the /dev/md* device
files, but creating them by hand didn't change anything. The only way to create
md devices at installation time was by opening a shell and resorting to mdadm.
The same test was performed with a current netinst image from Debian proper, and
it worked flawlessly.

When you say "current image", do you mean Warty or Hoary?
