If the user selects too many file systems (say /, /var and /usr) there
is a real risk of run out out of slices for LU.

Wouldn't it be better to only offer swap, / and /export/home with a
check box for extra partitions and LU?

Adding LU support from the install is a great idea, many new users only
discover it after they have installed.  But it does get complicated with
too many filesystems.
