I'm using a stock (www.kernel.org) 2.6.15 kernel on several Debian Sarge
servers and just using the debian packaged mdadm. Seems to work OK.

Personally, I'd say don't upgrade unless you actually need the features of
the latest & gratest....

Debian sarge ships with 1.9.0:

  eagle:~# uname -a
  Linux eagle 2.6.15 #1 PREEMPT Sat Jan 21 15:59:40 GMT 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
  eagle:~# mdadm --version
  mdadm - v1.9.0 - 04 February 2005
  eagle:~# dpkg -l | fgrep mdadm
  ii  mdadm          1.9.0-4sarge1  Manage MD devices aka Linux Software Raid
