I need some help here.

According to the test that David Härdeman introduced recently, a hyphen 
_is_ a valid character for VG and LV names.

So what is the actual bug here:
- a hyphen is not a valid character after all
- the kernel/udev creates a device where a hyphen is doubled
- the installer should anticipate that hyphens will be doubled

Cheers,
