OK, indeed, if I install lvm2 on a clean unstable install with openrc
the installation works well. But, if I do the same using rm -r
/etc/rc?.d; insserv -d /etc/init.d, which is what you will do when
upgrading from an old version of openrc, I get the reported error. It
does boot however, but that's probably because there are no partitions.
