Package: lvm2
Version: 2.02.05-3
Severity: normal

Looking through the changelog, I see that pvresize was removed as it was
'useless'. With recent versions of LVM, it works fine, and it is needed
for those of us that expand our physical devices. I'm tagging this
'normal' instead of 'wishlist' since it does drastically limit the
usability of LVM, if you have the need to expand your disk.
