Bug#610282: preseed: partman-lvm/confirm boolean true does not suppress "Before the Logical Volume ..."

Hi,

I believe the entirety of the required patch is at the end of this message.
Please consider applying it.

I'd like to make a plea for an easily-findable branch or tag series
for making updates like this to the installation guide which-applies-
to-the-current-'stable'.

When I was fishing around in preparation for generating this patch
I could not easily find the exact svn revision matching the last upload
(20110122~squeeze1, done on 2011-02-26) - the closest was the one below.
Maybe I've missed something? I can see Samuel is regularly tagging uploads
so maybe that is the answer for wheezy and beyond. I'd prefer a branch
that gets made shortly after the release.

I take Holger's point about the timing in this particular case, but in
general it would be helpful to users of stable if the manual could be
fixed when errors are found and patches provided. Errors like this can
waste hours that could be better spent (torturing the latest d-i beta).
If it were easier to submit patches to the 'stable' manual and there was
some hope of them actually going in (say around the time of a point release)
then more patches might come in.

Thanks to all for your work on the manual, it's appreciated.
Vince
