There is, and it is incredibly stupid: The non-udev mdadm hook includes
'mdassemble' and not 'mdadm', and the udev rule uses 'mdadm'. If we add
the udev rule to the hook as it is, we're fine. Or we symlink mdadm to true.

Yes, we should report it to them, but we should also patch our version
of the rule.
