This is a debian issue then. You should ask debian experts out there :)

My guess is that somehow your debian installation does not include LVM
features on initrd. In ubuntu this is automatic, but maybe there's a
config option somewhere that needs to be changed. Again, debian
specific. Perhaps if you run update-initramfs while having debian
booted it will correctly modifiy the initrd.
