currently the idea is for ubiquity to not be in main for 24.04. There is a very high chance that this will succeed
It might still be around for the flavors, but it should be in universe then

for subiquity installers I expect that dmraid is obsolete, and that we are covered by the mdadm usage.

for ubiquity, there are still references to dmraid in partman.

d-i seems to have undergone a pruning step to remove dmraid support with commits such as https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/partman-base/-/commit/72735280fefab7e27acb4bbb1b6b83cb88f75611

Title:
  Please remove dmraid from the Ubuntu archive

Status in dmraid package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in dmraid package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  It got dropped from Debian due to being obsolete and dead upstream. An
  alternative seems to be "mdadm".

  We're still tracking it in Ubuntu "main" as part of the live-common seed and an Ubiquity Recommends.
  The Ubiquity installer is depecrated, though. So we should consider dropping dmraid from main.
