Alternate partitioning for GUI installer

I've recently noticed that the dapper desktop installer is a bit too picky
in its partitioning requirements for my tastes.  It requires a large (2GB
IIRC) root partition and I like to keep my root partition small.  I also
recently tried playing with lvm and it doesn't seem to recognize lvm
partitions.

I was just wondering if these issues are my design -- which would be
understandable for a desktop oriented install -- or whether they will be
addressed in the upcoming releases.  I've worked around both issues by
installing with the server cd, and subsequently decided that I prefer it to
the livecd even for desktop installs (yes, I'm a longtime Debian user...)
