Bug Description

Binary package hint: partman-lvm

During installation, when configuring a number of LVM volumes, they are displayed as in the attached screenshot:

LVM VG Raid, LV Home - 80.0 GB Linux device-mapper (linear)
    #1 80.0 GB f ext4 /home
LVM VG Raid, LV Home_Manager - 20.0 GB Linux device-mapper (linear)
    #1 20.0 GB f ext4 /home/manager
LVM VG Raid, LV Root_Maverick - 15.0 GB Linux device-mapper (linear)
    #1 15.0 GB f ext4 /
LVM VG Raid, LV Swap - 4.0 GB Linux device-mapper (linear)
    #1 4.0 GB f swap swap
LVM VG Raid, LV Var_Maverick - 10.0 GB Linux device-mapper (linear)
    #1 10.0 GB f ext4 /var

I think this is illogical because:
* an LVM volume is not partitionable, so #1 is meaningless
* Useless information "Linux device-mapper (linear)" is displayed
* Size of the volume is displayed twice
* Far more space is taken on the screen than necessary

I would suggest a display like the following:

LVM Volume Group: Raid
    Home 80.0 GB f ext4 /home
    Home_Manager 20.0 GB f ext4 /home/manager
    Root_Maverick 15.0 GB f ext4 /
    Swap 4.0 GB f swap swap
    Var_Maverick 10.0 GB f ext4 /var
