The file is part of the generic infrastructure of partman and should exist 
for each file system type (see e.g. partman-basicfilesystems).
The files dropped in that directory seem to be used in the script:
partman-target/update.d/filesystems

It could well be that the file is not needed for pseudo-filesystems like 
md, crypto and lvm, especially as the rules file for partman-md has:
#dh_install parted_names lib/partman

Also, the file seems to be copied, probably when partman-lvm was first 
created, without changing the contents. If it were used, we'd probably 
have seen "linux-swap" popping up somewhere erroneously.

So, I'm OK with removing the _directory_ (not just the file) from 
partman_lvm and commenting out the line in the rules file.
