I was thinking in the same line :)

So you are looking at lvm10

Look at changelog.debian in /usr/share/doc/lvm10.  It was tracking 1.0.1
up to 1.0.1release-1 then startied to track 1.1. Latest entry say:

lvm10 (1.1rc1-2) unstable; urgency=high

  * Fixed lvmsadc lock bug (Closes: #139169)
  * Fixed lvm name check bug (Closes: #140957)
  * lvm is been working fine with debian kernels a while now (Closes: #122753)

Considering woody is freeze mode after around May1, this is very new.  

As usual, he is not blindly following upstream but keep applying local
patch.  It is second build (1.1rc1-2) With last statement it sounds
good to me.

$ apt-get source lvm10
$ mc
...
# apt-get -d install lvm10 # provided you set up deb-src on sources.list
# cd /var/cache/apt/archives; mc
...

If you did not know these basics, read "Debian reference" available on
debian server:
