Actually, I believe that is a bug in the mdadm dependency information,
not in lvm2.  It depend on $local_fs and $remote_fs, yet currently
insert its init.d script at rcS.d sequence number 25, which is way
earlier than mountnfs-bootclean at runlevel 46.  Also, its runlevels
are wrong.  The call to update-rc.d only insert the script in
runlevels S, 0 and 6, yet 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are listed in
default-start and default-stop.  I will fail a separate bug report for
mdadm because of this.

Sequence number 25 is before lvm2 on 26, so lvm2 should be able to
depend on mdadm.

That is another problem, possibly with the mdadm script.  It need to
depend on $local_fs to use /var/, and then it can not start as early
as it is starting. /var/ is only guaranteed to be available after
mountall.sh ran on sequence 35.

Happy hacking,
