Welcome to beta packages. :) A fix for this is up at http://chunk.mp3revolution.net/lvm2 (apt-gettable); They'll be uploaded tonight. Feel free to try 'em out and provide feedback before they're uploaded.
As for the really-bad-shape part; they work for me (tm); I don't have a system w/ /usr on a separate partition. I apologize for the bug, but they happen.
