What a typical Debian initramfs does with LVM is defined at
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-block/lvm2, and specifically
it's:
lvm lvchange -aay -y --sysinit --ignoreskippedcluster "$@"
Note the '-aay' part here, it refers to auto_activation_volume_list in
lvm.conf.
What it should do is to activate all and every LV you have if
auto_activation_volume_list is not defined, and restrict LV activation
to the list contents otherwise.
So, first things first, check your lvm.conf.
Second, you can cheat. Just add yet another initramfs script to call
"lvchange -ay".
