I have found an ubuntu bug now that addresses the missing /var/run/ folder so I guess it will be fixed in a future release (Ubuntu has an outdated version of mdadm also - so I have now built my own package of 3.1.2 and fixed up the missing initramfs folder) > >My final thought is, that to make this bug report, I had to come and > >sign up here on this list, and then hope that the mdadm maintainer will > >read it.

Well, first of all it isn't immediately obvious where to report bugs at all. http://neil.brown.name/blog/mdadm you then need to surf to the "front" link then to contact, but it is a little vague. and as for what's wrong with a mailinglist? all the obvious things tracking bugs, priority, other people locating similar issues to comment, tracking patches and so on.
