That, by itself, is strange. Whether you use phy:/dev/drbd*, or
block-drbd scripts, the drbd resource should not be accessible if drbd
has not been started yet. Not accessible means the domU should not be
able to start at all.

Since you use debian packages, your best bet is to contact their
package maintainer, or use their bug report mechanism.
