Ah, that's certainly the problem. Probably very few people tried to
use partman-lvm in rescue mode with so few memory.

There are probably ways to work this around by manually activating
disk swap before trying to use partman-lvm in rescue mode but I'm not
sure that such a corner case will trigger some more development to at
least warn users when low memmory conditions prevenbt real use of
partman-lvm.

Turning this into a wishlist bug against partman-lvm.

Many thanks for your feedback.
