File 0001-Document-PART-POLICY-lines.patch of Package mdadm.12487

Subject: [PATCH 1/5] Document PART-POLICY lines

PART-POLICY has been accepted in mdadm.conf since the same
time that POLICY was accepted, but it was never documented.
So add the missing documentation.

Also fix a bug which would have stopped it from working if
anyone had ever tried to use it.
