Package: mdadm
Severity: important
Version: 3.3.2-5+deb8u1
If I specify a DEVICE line in mdadm.conf, /usr/share/mdadm/mkconf does
*not* keep it; instead, the output file contains the DEVICE line
prefixed with a comment character('#').

It's also not nice to reorder the file, but that is a separate bug that
I don't feel like filing right now.
