preseed file with left over space in a volume group

[vadud3 at gmail.com]

I just had to add a late_command to remove the /extra, thanks to google
search for "preseed late_command lvremove"

d-i     preseed/late_command string umount -f /target/extra/; sed -i
'/extra/d' /target/etc/fstab; lvremove -f /dev/*/*extra > /dev/null 2>&1;
