Options to configure LVM will appear as soon as you mark a partition to be 
used as "physical partition for LVM". See installation guide.

Try the following:
- boot with "install priority=medium"
- proceed until the menu option for partitioning is highlighted (but don't
  execute it yet)
- switch to VT2
- 'nano /lib/partman/definitions.sh' and add the line
- switch back to VT1
- run the menu option "Save logs" and start a webserver (assuming you
  have a local net with a second box you can use to view the logs)
- run partman and try to reproduce the error
