isn't a problem somewhere "below" LVM level, since even partitions are not
visible (so no swap, which is not under LVM's control)?  or LVM somehow
could remove those partition drives?

For me I am just getting

# lvscan  --verbose
  ACTIVE            '/dev/disks/debian' [127.34 GiB] inherit

BTW -- mdstat reports using entire (?) drives whenever only a partition on each
drive was given to md:
