Title:
  mdadm prints message containing my root password

Status in “mdadm” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have just performed
  >sudo apt-get update
  >[my admin password]
  >sudo apt-get upgrade

  at the end of the upgrade process, (just after the message 'update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-29-generic')
  I receive the message

  mdadm: unknown keyword [my admin password]

  plainly visible to everybody around the screen...
  even if this is a setup-problem, it seems quite serios.
