Package: mdadm
Version: 1.9.0-2.3
Severity: minor

The manpage says that both, /dev/mdX and /dev/md/X are standard
names and "either of" may be used.

If mdadm.conf lists a stanza for /dev/md0 and `mdadm -A /dev/md/0`
is called, the command fails:

  mdadm: /dev/md/0 not identified in config file

The same happens vice versa. This could lead to problems and is not
nice in any case. Please make the two ways to specify the same
device be interchangeable.
