Here is a patch to pass on the code I've been working on for this problem.
Part is for lvmcfg and most for partman-lvm.
I have no local udeb repositary so I have not tested this by building the
udebs. I have however patched the ramdisk in memory then run partman from
the "expert" menu... this seems to work!
Anyway here is the diff... comments welcome!
NB: the snv patch was made from debian-installer/packages/
