Package: partman-efi Version: 59 partman-efi uses flawed logic that trips up when installing from usb. init.d/efi scans the system and counts the number of efi system partitions, and the number of non efi system partitions. If it does not find an EFI system partition, but does find at least one non ESP, then it throws the non_efi_system warning/question. The problem is that when installing to a disk that does not already have an efi system partition, the script *always* detects a non EFI system partition, and throws the warning. This may be connected to a recent change in libparted. Looking at the partman logs and the output after adding a set -x to the init.d/efi script, it appears to me that what is happening is that the system asks libparted to create a new partition on the hard disk that will become an EFI system partition. Either init.d/efi runs before the partition has been formatted with a fat filesystem, or parted_server is still running and is keeping the "ext2" fs type cached from before it was formatted. Either way, the script decides it sees an ext2 filesystem on the drive, and that counts as a non EFI system partition, and so it throws the message.
