thanks for your comments, Milan. so I guess the bug here is in lvm2
package, which is outdated and doesn't contain latest udev rules, right?
it seems like several bugreport already complain about this: #590665,
#593625, #593375.

reassigning this bugreport to lvm2 package. Bastian, please either
update lvm2 package or backport the udev rules.

greetings,
 jonas
