It seems this bug needs someone with the relevant hardware to test and
implement a fix. While that can still happen for buster, we're not going to
delay the release for that, so tagging this bug -ignore.

Given the complete lack of reaction from the maintainer, either a new
maintainer should step up (with access to the relevant hardware to be able to
test it), or dmraid should be removed for bullseye. Removing it for buster is
not realistic because d-i depends on it.

Cheers,

Ivo
