2. test for existing physical volume name is broken
After entering a name for a physical volume I always get a screen saying the name is already in use.
The problem seems to be in this code in choose_partition/lvm/do_option:
       # Check whether the VG name is already in use
       if vgs "$vg" > /dev/null 2>&1; then
               db_set partman-lvm/vgcreate_nameused "false"
               db_input high partman-lvm/vgcreate_nameused
               db_go
               return
       fi

If I try that test from the console:
# vgs newname
 Volume group "newname" not found
# echo $?
0

Actually, it turns out to be a bug introduced in lvm2 version 2.02.06-1:

austin:/home/david# vgs --version
 LVM version:     2.02.05 (2006-04-21)
 Library version: 1.02.07 (2006-05-11)
 Driver version:  4.5.0
austin:/home/david# vgs bogus
 Volume group bogus not found
austin:/home/david# echo $?
5
austin:/home/david# apt-get update && apt-get install lvm2
...snip...
austin:/home/david# vgs --version
 LVM version:     2.02.06 (2006-05-12)
 Library version: 1.02.07 (2006-05-11)
 Driver version:  4.5.0
austin:/home/david# vgs bogus
 Volume group "bogus" not found
austin:/home/david# echo $?
0

I've filed a bug report.

3. formatting error on confirmation screen for partition changes
The header "The following partitions..." is misaligned.
See: http://people.debian.org/~fjp/d-i/partman-lvm_confirm.png

I've committed a fix to SVN.

David
