ubuntu-bug mdadm - Fails due to permission denied

[Spider]

Binary package hint: mdadm

When I was reporting : https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/442735 I noticed that ubuntu-bug will fail to report what it should because it lacked permission to run mdadm -E on the devices. This clearly makes the debugging less useful and I think it should prompt for a password to generate useful information.
