Well, you are swimming against the tide: the kernel has been steadily losing consistent device names, for what the kernel devs feel are good and proper reasons. The recommended alternative is to use filesystem labels, or even better, UUIDs in your fstab. Then you can go back to no mdadm.conf file in your initramfs, and carry on.
(*I'm* not going to command the tide to stop.)
