Title:
  [partition reuse] VGs are not deleted

Status in curtin:
  Fix Committed
Status in subiquity:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  In manual partitioning mode one may want to keep some partitions but
  throw away a VG, replacing it with a plain partition or with another
  VG built from scratch.

  Subiquity allows for deleting VGs, but this is not actually done. Even
  if the "deleted" VG disappears, another VG with the same name can't be
  created (the error is: "vg0 is not a valid name for a volume group").
  If the VG has been "deleted" from subiquity and a device which was in
  the VG is used in another way, the installation fails at format time
  with the error "device is in use".

  In both cases a look in /dev reveals the VG still exists.

  If a VG is deleted and not reused the installation does not fail, but
  the VG comes up configured in the installed system.
