Oh yes ... please add

$ROOTCMD update-initramfs -k all -u
to one of your scripts, maybe LAST/50-misc or add some script named
SETUPSTORAGE; we'll add that in the in examples.

The problem is that lvm2 is installed _after_ your kernel packages, and thus the
necessary scripts and modules don't make their way into the initramfs.

HTH,
