My understanding was that that error happens *unconditionally* whether there's a RAID device on the system or not, and that that bug is fixed by depending on libblockdev-mdraid3 (which seems fine). But if I'm understanding the upstream issue correctly, libblockdev-mdraid3 doesn't actually need the mdadm binary *unless* the user's system actually has a RAID device on it, in which case they would more likely want to have mdadm installed. So, I *think* removing the Depends on mdadm would mean that the only users getting an error message are those who have a RAID device and *don't* have mdadm installed, which seems like exactly the set of users who *should* get an error message.
I was pondering the question myself and came to a similiar conclusion.A user with RAID devices most likely has mdadm installed anyway, so demoting it to Suggests seems ok, as we wouldn't generate error messages for users without RAID devices.
