Just adding, this isn't only a feature request but results in
non-bootable systems.
If one of the os-probe'd systems e.g. is also a Debian, it will drop
into an initramfs due to not finding the root device.
This is due to - within the initramfs - the VGs as part of the the LVM
system only get activated by certain naming schemes
("/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/lvm2").
It tries ti figure out whether the rootfs resides on a LVM and if it
thinks it doesn't, the respective VG won't be activated, resulting in
the passed /dev/dm-X block device not being available.
