Yes, I'll do.

If you mean the work done by Grégory Oestreicher about multiple disk
auto-lvm, then that's not exactly what I'm wanting.

I wanted a way to mix partman-auto-raid and partman-auto-lvm. 
I read carefully the partman developper documentation, but I'm not yet
too confident to add my own partman-auto-lvm-on-raid module :-(

Hence my question: do I have other alternatives than adding this module
to achieve automated partitioning of LVM above software RAID (or even
other alternatives?

Would an early_script that partitions the drives as I want, then create
the arrays, and leave the rest to partman-auto-lvm could work?

Or should I go the long route to add some kind of
partman-auto-lvm-on-raid by mixing the existing partman-auto-raid and
partman-auto-lvm?

Any hints are welcome :-)
Thanks,
