Assuming you have enough disk space, you can install into a new
LV/partition while the old system is still running (via `deboostrap`
and then `chroot`). It's more fiddly than using the normal Debian
installer, but that's my second favorite choice (my first choice is to
just clone some existing install, e.g. via `dd`).
