It's not just lvm2. I think it must be a change in initramfs-tools as I
also get an installation failure when installing current testing and that
still installs 2.6.25. And the initrd I got with my initial armel install
which also used lvm2 did fit in flash.

After setting MODULES=dep for the new install I get:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2670212 Aug  6 01:46 initrd.img-2.6.25-2-orion5x
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4212645 Aug  6 01:30 initrd.img-2.6.25-2-orion5x.bak

After this change the installation completed successfully.

Minor issue: the flash-kernel udeb does not clear its progress bar on
error.
