bob@trantor:~$ apt-file search lvcreate
lvm2: /lib/lvm-200/lvcreate
lvm2: /sbin/lvcreate
lvm2: /usr/share/man/man8/lvcreate.8.gz

lvcreate is part of the lvm2 package it would seem.

http://packages.debian.org/etch/lvm2

says that lvm2 depends on lvm-common, so it should be installed
automatically.

http://packages.debian.org/etch/lvm2
http://packages.debian.org/etch/lvm-common
