  kickstart not removing logical volume data

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: debian-installer

  From my understanding "clearpart --all --initlabel" should clear all partitions no matter if they are containing LVMs or not.
  This is the case in Centos. Ubuntu somehow asks if it should do so:

  \quote
  [!!] Partition disks

  The selected device already contains the following LVM locical
  volumes, volume groups and physical volumes which are about the be
  removed:

  Logical volume(s) to be removed:
  [...]
  Note that this will also permanently erase any data currently on the logical volumes.
  Remove existing logical volume data?
  \quote end

  I am experiencing this problem from version 8.10 to version 10.10 (I
  have not tried earlier versions)

  Regards,
  Jan
