Hi,It has "Configure the Logical Volume Manager",but it only has "delete
volume group"

I playback this problem in my virtual machine.
First,choose "Guided partitioning" in "partition disk" step .
Now,my disk partition look like this:
------------------
LVM LG debian, LV root - 20.3 GB Linux device-mapper (linear)
#1 20.3 GB f ext3 /
LVM LG debian, LV swap_1 - 914.4 MB Linux device-mapper (linear)
#1 914.4 MB f swap swap
Virtual disk 1 (vda) - 21.5GB Virtio Block Device
#1 primary 254 MB B f ext2 /boot
#5 logical 21.2 GB k lvm
------------------
Now,I want delete lvm(vda5),but it display "partition in use" .So I
enter "Configure the Logical Volume Manager" this entry,and delete all
volume group.But it still display "partition in use",even if I restart
installer.

I know a only way can use this PC to solve problem.
Enter the shell and use fdisk to delete lvm partition(vda5),and return
"partition disk" step.
But,this way is dirty,I think.
