I've tried multiple scenarios but failed to reproduce your problem.
Including dist-upgrades:
  jessie sysv-rc -> unstable -> openrc
  jessie sysv-rc -> openrc -> unstable

So there's something more complex on your system than just lvm2.  Letting us
know what might be helpful in trying to find out what's amiss for you.

As you say that sysv-rc failed too, it doesn't sound like anything related
to openrc.
