I don't think I've ever installed Debian using d-i, you've got much more uptime when doing it from a running system. In this case I simply started from my plain Debian install (actually Ubuntu). Add another disk, create lvm on that, copy whole system over to lvm. Boot new system with / on lvm using old /boot on plain disk. Some playing with lvm, mkinitrd and grub2 is required here. Then play with grub2's /boot device and ordering of modules until it will also boot from the new copied /boot on lvm. Trash old plain disk.
