The file is part of the generic infrastructure of partman and should exist for each file system type (see e.g. partman-basicfilesystems). The files dropped in that directory seem to be used in the script: partman-target/update.d/filesystems It could well be that the file is not needed for pseudo-filesystems like md, crypto and lvm, especially as the rules file for partman-md has: #dh_install parted_names lib/partman Also, the file seems to be copied, probably when partman-lvm was first created, without changing the contents. If it were used, we'd probably have seen "linux-swap" popping up somewhere erroneously. So, I'm OK with removing the _directory_ (not just the file) from partman_lvm and commenting out the line in the rules file.
