Wow, it's a whole new world with a medium priority...
This bug should probably be closed if it's inapropriate for the package it's
been filed against.
I do have a question, using the beta 1 d-i CD image, I successfully created
a bunch of LV's and installed sarge, but the installer neglected to install
the lvm10 package, so when the system rebooted, it couldn't activate my
volume group and everything turned to custard :-(
