I can confirm this bug. Just upgraded my system and lost raidtools. Unfortunately mdadm cannot seem to recognize older raids which were created without superblocks, unless the raid is already mounted which for now makes the deprecated raidtools an essential tool. Much thanks if anyone can decipher this bug, much important data would be saved.
I want to correct my last comment. mdadm can build the old arrays. You need to use the -B --build flag. So there is no use for raidtools. The linux-raid mailing list says it has been obsolete for at least a few years.
we know package has been masked and will be punted; people should use mdadm
