Gaëtan - you have it exactly right.
I've summed up the situation in more detail here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Evms
This hopefully explains why we've chosen to drop support for and remove
evms, and what the underlying problem is that causes this bug.
I've also confirmed that updating from dapper *does* cause the removal
of evms (see the screenshots on that wiki page), so I'm content that
users upgrading to 7.10 will have evms removed unless they try hard not
to (e.g. because they're using).
Since Update Manager has a task on this bug that's now marked Fixed
Released, I've marked the EVMS task "won't fix" since we don't intend to
fix the *actual* evms bug -- our preferred solution is to get it off
your computers :-)
** Changed in: evms (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix
