Colin, adding partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm doesn't take care of this case:

1. Begin an install with LVM auto partitioning. Let the partitioning step finish.
2. Delete the partition table
3. Start another install and select LVM auto partitioning.

You get an error that the volume group name is already in use. If you continue and try again, then it works. My understanding is that even if you preseed every option available to remove existing LVM data, if LVM data suddenly appears when the disk gets partitioned, partman is incapable of removing it. If you select continue, it restarts the partitioning step and allow the removal of the existing data since the partitions now exist.
