Dear Maintainer, please see the bug #1069182 in initscripts for the background. To keep device-mapper controlled drives records from deletion at udev base cleanup, the udev rules for adding them need to specify "db_persist" option. This was already done in lvm2 upstream, but the patch is pretty trivial, so I don't think it needs waiting for the upstream release. I modified the patch so it applies to the current Debian git version.
