(Preferably with a current daily build, too, just in case we fixed this
and I forgot about it.)

Title:
  no way to create logical volume within lvm

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I've just reinstalled my laptop using the precise alternative amd64
  snapshot from 2012-01-27.  I wanted to repartition the disk, and then
  have an lv on a vg on lusk within a partition.

  I chose "guided install with encrypted lvm", and I got a luks
  partition with lvm inside it, but it didn't have any logical volumes.
  (So, the install could not proceed since there was no root partition.)

  I tried again in manual mode and hit the same problem: after the vg
  was created, I could see it in the partitioner menu, but I couldn't
  see any way to create an lv within it.  When I pressed enter on the
  pv, or anything connected to it, I was just told "this is in use by
  $device_name and cannot be edited". (I forget the exact name, it was
  something like 'crypt_sda5'.)
