preseed file with left over space in a volume group

[vadud3 at gmail.com]

Hi All,

I like to not use up all the left over volume to the last LV and one way I
can achieve that is using a partition /extra as the last LV and the remove
it later after the OS built like below

d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string                           \
        boot-root ::                                            \
                1000 10 1000 ext3                               \
                        $primary{ } $bootable{ }                \
                        method{ format } format{ }              \
                        use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 }    \
                        mountpoint{ /boot }                     \
                .                                               \

                        method{ swap } format{ }                \
                .                                               \
                10000 10 10000 ext4                             \
                        \$lvmok{ }                              \
                        method{ format } format{ }              \
                        use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext4 }    \
                        mountpoint{ /opt }                      \
                .                                               \
                30000 10 30000 ext4                             \
                        \$lvmok{ }                              \
                        method{ format } format{ }              \
                        use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext4 }    \
                        mountpoint{ /var }                      \
                .                                               \
                130000 10 130000 ext4                           \
                        \$lvmok{ }                              \
                        method{ format } format{ }              \
                        use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext4 }    \
                        mountpoint{ / }                         \
                .                                               \
                130000 10 130000 ext4                           \
                        \$lvmok{ }                              \
                        method{ format } format{ }              \
                        use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext4 }    \
                        mountpoint{ /extra }                    \
                .

After boot I remove lv /dev/system/extra to recover the extra space.

Is there a better way to do this?
