Debian Sarge mdadm raid 10 assembling at boot problem

[Roger Ellison <raennnn@adelphia.net>]

I've been having an enjoyable time tinkering with software raid with
Sarge and the RC2 installer.  The system boots fine with Raid 1 for
/boot and Raid 5 for /.  I decided to experiment with Raid 10 for /opt
since there's nothing there to destroy :).  Using mdadm to create a Raid
0 array from two Raid 1 arrays was simple enough, but getting the Raid
10 array activated at boot isn't working well.  I used update-rc.d to
add the symlinks to mdadm-raid using the defaults, but the Raid 10 array
isn't assembled at boot time.  After getting kicked to a root shell, if
I check /proc/mdstat only md1 (/) is started.  After running mdadm-raid
start, md0 (/boot), md2, and md3 start.  If I run mdadm-raid start again
md4 (/opt) starts.  Fsck'ing the newly assembled arrays before
successfully issuing 'mount -a' shows no filesystem errors.  I'm at a
loss and haven't found any similar issue mentions on this list or the
debian-users list.  Here's mdadm.conf:
