I've checked 2.4 and it uses disc/part0 devices with devfs for this
device.

I don't understand, since raid-devfs.sh shows every indication of
creating devices in disc/part format:
case "$NAME" in
*p*)
LONG_NAME=disc$(get_dev_number ${NAME%%p*})/part${NAME##*p}
;;
*)
LONG_NAME=disc$(get_dev_number $NAME)/disc
;;
esac
It just doesn't seem to be working in d-i.
