Alexander, the colon output has been added in 1997 to address a SuSE requirement IRT to easing the installation process and displays the requested fields. LVM1 is in feature freeze for a long time now in favour of putting the development focus on LVM2, which is compatible to LVM1. Please check into the pvs, vgs and lvs commands in LVM2, which provide formatable output.
