I have a few trivial and unintersting ones for things like a small /boot
partition.

It's not possible yet since partman-auto does not run the lvmcfg and
mdcfg setup programs. I suspect that the recipe file format is
sufficient, but it will take some more work to make those programs
automatable and get it to work.

Yes of course. I suggest you read
installer/doc/devel/partman-auto-recipe.txt. Note the format{ }
specifier.

I think you would need some kind of additional udeb to do what you need,
either before partman runs or as part of partman.
