Ah, that way.  I didn't know anything of the internals of LVM, and I
somehow assumed that the disk would not be partitioned in advance, but
first LVM volumes would be created. 

Well, I've learned that now (and just resized my volumes appropriately);
maybe a sentence like yours above could be added to the online help in
partman.
