I interrupted an array resyncing a couple of times without issues.
Only one time I interrupted an array during growth process and I had
an old version of mdadm (2.6.3) which didn't support resuming that. I
think Neil told me that 2.6.9 is the minimum requirement to resume.
It's 2.6.7.2.  Debian does not admit new software into its distro until

You could seek out a testing version or compile it your self.  mdadm
doesn't depend on that much...
	Yes, I could, butt these are servers, and one of the main reasons I
run Debian on them is stability.  'Not that I have a huge issue with
compiling from source, generally speaking, but I much prefer to keep
everything on these systems wholly in the stable release whenever possible.
With Debian, that's usually 9 months or so after a piece of software is
released as stable in the other distros.
