indeed it is up to the maintainer to assess severity.

considering the use case the *one* unbootable box is of course bad
for the user in question but in comparison to thousands of others
that are working aboves severity is inflated.

also it is already quite some time since lenny was released
if aboves is an repeatable bug it would already have touched others.

no, again the error is not on initramfs-tools side as legacylvm has
nothing todo with encrypted root. all those hook scripts are in the
hand of the cryptsetup maintainers.

well i haver zero idea why your box didn't have lvm2 installed,
nor did you provide info why it wasn't?
