No, it was an upstream change, and the bug probably exists in Debian
too:

mdcfg (0.23) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Joshua Kwan
    - Create a mdadm.conf and copy it into /target/etc/mdadm/ during
      prebaseconfig. Works around #231823, possibly unbreaks 2.6 installs
      over software RAID.

Josh, can we make this only happen when RAID is in use? Maybe just
surround it by 'if [ -e /proc/mdstat ] && grep ^md /proc/mdstat'. I'll
drop this into Ubuntu's mdcfg for now.
