This is currently impossible in sarge-installer, because the parted we had
there didn't support the purely cosmetical RAID/LVM partition types. Purely
cosmetical because they are only there to make partman happy, but never used
by the raid/lvm tools.
That said, parted 1.6.24 (and probably as early as 1.6.22 if i remember well,
the one after sarge anyway) has this fixed, so using the daily-builds should
help you out (but they are probably pretty broken right now due to the kernel
packaging changes).
