Yes, I already thought about if changing the template would make sense here.
That would require synchron changings in partman-partitioning and
partman-auto-lvm.
Patches attached as a proposal.
CC'ing debian-l10n-english for template review (three identical additions
in two packages).

_Description: Amount of volume group to use for guided partitioning:
You may use the whole volume group for guided partitioning, or part of it.
If you use only part of it, or if you add more disks later, then you will
be able to grow logical volumes later using the LVM tools, so using a
smaller part of the volume group at installation time may offer more
flexibility.
