Indeed.

It's especially not an issue systemd 240-1: Due to this bug report
showing up in apt-listbugs, I didn't upgrade systemd to 240-1 (but
upgraded udev and lvm2) and I also saw messages like that in my syslog
several times during the upgrade:

lvm2 on amd64 was upgraded from 2.02.176-4.1 to 2.03.01-2.

Downgrading lvm2 to testing again changes the above lines to lines like this:

So if "/lib/systemd/system-generators/lvm2-activation-generator failed
with exit status 1" is really the cause for "systemd: local-fs.target
fails with result 'dependency'", then this is an issue in lvm2, not
systemd.
