OK, seems to be behaving better now. I've submitted d-i-stage2 again.
Fingers crossed!

I just did the minimum needed here, I didn't change libs or bin paths
etc. in dmraid or lvm2 packages, but this could probably be done and
simplify the packaging. We likely also do not need static versions these
days (I noticed a dmsetup-static and dmsetup.static) seeing as dracut
takes care of mounting things in initrd and we do not support /usr
mounts except when they are already mounted in the initrd.
