I'm not trying to boot from it, and I'm using Salix (Slackware), not a debian based distribution. My boot partitions are not raided.
The setting would still be valid if your distribution defaults to not assembling and using degraded arrays on boot.
A dmesg output from when "it doesn't work" would probably yield an answer if this is why it's not being started properly.
If I tell mdam to activate the raid I get no errors, and nothing happens.
It would be interesting to see what mdadm command options you use here, and mdadm output from this with verbose output (-v) turned on, and what is written in dmesg when you do this.
