man lvcreate says
-W, --wipesignatures {y|n}
[...]
This default behaviour can be controlled by
allocation/wipe_signatures_when_zeroing_new_lvs
setting found in lvm.conf(5).
[...]
$ sudo lvm dumpconfig |grep wipe
wipe_signatures_when_zeroing_new_lvs=1
Thus it's already enabled. And that means it checks their presence and
unfortunately asks for wiping.
IMHO it should not prompt at all. Or prompt only if unset.
Also see thread
https://lists.fedorahosted.org/pipermail/anaconda-patches/2014-January/thread.html#8514
Anyway, with -Wn (do not wipe them), it doesn't prompt anymore and
lvcreation succeeds:

Better than --yes? I didn't test it on d-i.
