I downloaded the netinst CD this morning from the above URL.
I was upgrading a Fedora machine to Debian and I wanted to use the same LVs.
The root and swap LVs had the same size requirements and /boot was right,
so all that should have been needed was to run mkfs and mkswap.
However d-i didn't recognise the "root" and "swap" LVs, I had to go to the
LVM configuration, delete them, and then create new LVs (of the same size and
name) before I could do the install I desired.

I tested it again and it did just that.
I can't be sure if it's some strange bug that is difficult to reproduce or
whether I just stuffed up, so I'm closing the bug.
