aims to import a patch from Ubuntu to introduce an additional prompt to the guided LVM setup that asks about how much of the LVM volume group to fill up. I've attached a screenshot of the question. It's asked at high priority right
now.

Question 1: Is it ok to introduce this prompt? I think it's valuable to ask as resizing after the fact is annoying. And it defaults to the full volume
group, which is the current behavior.

While I understand that some people don't like adding extra questions,
I think this one makes sense. This feature looks like an obviously
good thing to add, and I've seen quite a few people ask about this
over the last few years. Code looks good, particularly if it's
borrowed straight from Colin's code in Ubuntu.

Ok, thanks!

Question 2: Is sublevel 3 the right one for this question? It does come with Ubuntu's set of translations already. I hope that those are ok to import as
well.

Pass, no idea...

I have uploaded it now. I suppose we can still fix it after the fact if it's wrong.

Kind regards and thanks
Philipp Kern
