i've bumped into this issue, too.  my use case is setting up bare-metal
hosts for ganeti-managed vms.  the vms are backed by logical volumes and
i'd planned to use setup-storage to initialize the physical volumes and
volume group for later allocation.

i worked around this w/a hook, but would agree that it's a nice wishlist
feature.

thanks...
