Best would be to use the latest package with it's own rule - but it
might be not so easy if you are not udev experienced user to properly
fix udev rules in Ubuntu. Eventually you may try this package:

http://packages.debian.org/unstable/admin/lvm2

It's not the latest - but there should be bigger chance of more
correct udev behaviour.

It should work out-of-the-box - if you will notice any problem - feel
free to report.
