4 of the 5 bugs taged as duplicates use a separate home array,
the fix will not let such systems boot degraded.

WARNING:
The mdadm - 2.6.7-3ubuntu2fix uses "mdadm --assemble --scan" on a system based on udev hotplugging.

It will start all partly attatched arrays in degraded mode.

When any members of the arrays that got degraded comes available (very likely for arrys that got started degraded only as a sideeffect) you risk Bug #244792 corrupting your data.
(As long as ubuntu still uses --assemble --scan --no-degraded in the udev rule.)
