Bug#542441: #542441 Re: old LVM data is not erased



Hi,

This old bug is still present in Squeeze, except that I have only seen it 
cause issues on systems with more than one disk.

If there is a LVM volume on the 2nd disk that has a group name that is the 
same Debian wants to use,  install fails with a red "Volume group name already 
in use"


To reproduce on a (virtual) system with 2 disks:

- install Debian.
- swap the disks cables, so that disk 1 becomes disk 2.
- try to install Debian again.


I think Debian should remove the labels from ALL disks if I specify "partman-
lvm/device_remove_lvm".
Or as an alternate solution pick a random volume group name by default, so 
there are not any conflicts.
