Bug#651280: don't allocate all available disk space in standard LVM partioning scheme



Package: debian-installer
Severity: wishlist

If you chose scheme "Guided - use entire disk and set up LVM" - then
created logical volumes (e.g. for /usr, /var ...) span _all_ available
space in the default volume group.

Why not just create LVM volumes with some safe minimal sizes?
Free space in the volume group can be used later: to grow up already
created volumes or to create new ones.

It's easy to do lvresize & most of filesystems supports online growing.  On
the contrary, none supports online shrinking of size.
