Remember that usrmerge is going to move stuff from /sbin to /usr/sbin etc not vice versa, so without /usr mounted from the initramfs you won't find /sbin/lvm at all i.e. the issue is more pronounced with usrmerge, not less. BTW the initramfs's generated by the tools in Debian have been usrmerged for a long time, and it should be those copies of LVM and its dependencies which are being used anyway. Ian.
