I'm not sure what 'indication' you're expecting, exactly. AIUI, existing
RAID arrays and VGs should just show up in the list of existing
filesystems on the left-hand side of the custom partitioning screen. (In
a recent enough Beta TC, of course, Alpha is ancient stuff now). If they
don't, that's a bug. Do you have a case where they don't? If so, it
should just be reported as a bug.
