Well, that is rather the point, actually. I can't find anywhere
that Debian *DID* run the script in the previous versions. Failing
that, either Debian was doing it somewhere of which I have no knowledge,
or else mdadm itself was running it. Since mdadm itself does have some
timers built-in, the latter is not a totally unreasonable method of
handling the situation, hence my query to the list.
To the rest, I wasn't offended. My skin is much thicker than
that. More to the point, my desire to get this fix is the entire
concern of this thread. My ego isn't involved.

You need to ask on a Debian list. I for one don't have a damn clue
because I actively avoid apt-based systems.
Sorry, I don't mean to be harsh, but each distro "does its own thing" so
a lot of people (like me) *will* be clueless on that point, even if we
are raid experts.

I have upgraded 2 of my servers to Debian Buster, and now neither
one seems to be running checkarray automatically. In addition, when I
run checkarray manually, it isn't sending update emails on the status
of the job. Actually, I have never been able to figure out how
checkarray runs. One my older servers, there doesn't seem to be
anything in /etc/crontab, /etc/cron.monthly, /etc/init.d/,
/etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf, or /lib/systemd/system/ that would run checkarray.
