I see, thanks for the details. Makes sense to mimic what the lvm2 folks are doing since we're trying to workaround initramfs-tools lacks of expressiveness here and ideally would defer everything to lvm2-provided logic. I've lowered the severity as I don't think this issue warrants ‘Severity: important’, but will probably merge this as is — we're early enough in the release cycle to try potentially disruptive changes :-) -- Guilhem.
