to make / as small as possible.

that's not a problem, you do it while in an environment where /usr is
available.  (after copying the data you can do mount --move if you are
doing the migration live.)  for booting, only /sbin/lvm is required.  it
is statically linked, and doesn't support readline etc.  (/usr/sbin/lvm
does.)
