I found out that dmraid will be removed with trixie. So you might want
to let this bitrot. This is not critical and will be fixed either way
by dmraid removal.

Still, this would be fine for bookworm not to have this error at boot.

Cheers,
Alban

It has been fixed long time ago for Bookworm. For me it seems you are
using Bullseye.

Can you confirm that when you have _up-to-date Bookworm_ running you
have this message?
