Should stop partman-auto from showing LVM volumes

Bug Description

Currently, espresso displays logical volumes as 'hard drives' (as /dev/mapper/*), or at least in the same drop down box.

This can get quite confusing, so if espresso is not going to support installations on LVM, it should at last notify the user about it and not display those volumes.

Is this in the advanced partitioner?

Confirmed in Dapper Beta 2. No, this is in the normal partitioner, there is a drop down menu with one entry for my hard drive hda and three entries for my three logical volumes (which are inside one VG partition of hda). The three appear as if they were separate hard drives.

Closing this bug prevent to list dmraid devices that are listed in /dev/mapper.
So to make difference between dmraid and lvm device we could parsing the output of dmraid -r that list device name and the relative name of the draid device in /dev/mapper.
