Right. Thanks for the report, however could I ask you to directly
report this to upstream? I don't think this is a Debian peculiarity
and I cannot think of anything useful that I could add to an
upstream bug report.
AFAIK, LVM logical volumes are not partitionable from the kernel point
of view and there is nothing util-linux upstream can do about it.
kpartx works because it creates device-mapper devices instead of partitions.
