I don't know... I've never had a look at parted... if you want to take
a look, be my guest.  The program used by d-i to find devices is
simple:

1015:tbm@deprecation: ..i/packages/partman/partman] m parted_devices.c
#include <parted/parted.h>

int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        PedDevice *dev;
        ped_exception_fetch_all();
        ped_device_probe_all();
        for (dev = NULL; NULL != (dev = ped_device_get_next(dev));) {
                printf("%s\t%lli\t%s\n",
                       dev->path,
                       dev->length * PED_SECTOR_SIZE,
                       dev->model);
        }
        return 0;
}

This links against parted... it shows lvm1 but not lvm2 devices.
