Note that this requires changes to auto-lvm_tools.sh in partman-auto-lvm 
if /boot is excluded since it includes the following lines:

# Check if the scheme contains a boot partition; if not warn the user
if ! echo "$normalscheme" | grep -q "[[:space:]]/boot[[:space:]]"; then
	db_input critical partman-auto-lvm/no_boot || true
	db_go || return 30
	db_get partman-auto-lvm/no_boot || true
	[ "$RET" = true ] || return 30
