No, it can be done. I always setup my ubuntu and debian boxes with lvm
(for everything apart from /boot ) through the installer.

If you do it yourself, it's reliable on both sarge and breezy - create
the PVs, then
go on to 'configure LVM' and ok 'write changes to disk', then you
create your VG and
LVs. Finally you format the LVs and specify mount points, it's pretty
straightforward.

ISTR the autosetup getting twisted though...
