sure, as soon our FAI server is up again, just crashed with an ugly xfs
error which we recently see on a lot of amd64 systems :-(

I already tried it and it didn't work (as soon I get into the
installation again, I'll send you the output)

as far as I remember (I tried a bit of debugging myself) it was already
the sourcing in mdadm.postinst:
  . /usr/share/debconf/confmodule
which gave problems and in confmodule the line 14:
  exec /usr/share/debconf/frontend $0 "$@"
gave a nonzero exit code

but as i said, I'll send the details, when our server is up again
