Bug#762984: Alert! /dev/vg0/usr does not exist

[Simon McVittie]

Control: clone 762984 -2
Control: retitle 762984 cannot mount /usr if it is a separate LVM LV: Alert! /dev/vg0/usr does not exist
Control: retitle -2 cannot mount /usr if INITRDSTART in /etc/default/mdadm does not include the necessary device

I'm splitting off the situation on your "System 2" into a separate bug,
because as far as I can see, this is the only part of this report
that does not involve LVM.

Some of the other reports do involve RAID arrays, but none of them
seem to require bringing up additional RAID arrays in the initramfs
(that were not already needed for the root filesystem), so they
could all be fixed with only LVM-related changes.
