OK, agree to have all RAID and LVM info in autoinstallscript.conf ASAP. ;-)

As I've said in the previous mail the Soft-RAID volumes (also over LVM)
can be already declared in the autoinstallscript.conf with the svn trunk
version of systemimager (so this feature will be available from the next
unstable release). Regarding the steps to gather this info directly from
the client I've to do some additional work... so I suppose this feature
will be not present in the next unstable package (since it will be
released in few days...)

Regards,
-Andrea
