Title:
  dpkg-configure offers to boot when degraded, however it doesn't update
  the grub config to include the bootdegraded=true flag

Status in “mdadm” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The post-install configuration/dpkg-reconfigure mdadm offers to allow
  the user to boot using a degraded raid.  However, it never actually
  updates the grub configuration to reflect this.  The only work around
  is to manually update /etc/default/grub
