Thinking about this some more, I realized that this situation must be
quite rare.  d-i generates a /etc/fstab in the form of /dev/mapper/...
so in order to end up with a system that doesn't boot you have to edit
fstab manually and replace /dev/mapper/... with /dev/vg/lv.

Still, it's a bug that needs to be fixed.
