Well, even though I'm not fond of new strings so late in the release
process, I guess we can't avoid it (I wouldn't say so if this was a
real final release with a hard string freeze).
I have some changes to suggest to the templates text:

Fine by me...

The long description repeats the short description which is not that
good, imho. We also try to avoid sentences in notes/erros short
descriptions.
Proposal:
_Description: Existing physical volume in the selected device
LVM cannot automatically partition devices which already contain
one or more more physical volumes.

Fine....even though I'm not fond of referring to another package which
could cause consistency problems in the future if something is changed
regarding priorities.

Fine by me.
