Dear Maintainer,

yesterday I installed Debian testing on a new PC.  I tried some "new"
technologies (I did not use them until now...):
 - UEFI only install (without CSM enabled)
 - SATA-RAID mode using Intel RST (Matrix-Raid/Fake-Raid)
 - with two 250G disks I configured a RAID-1 volume (~60G) and a
   RAID-0 volume (~350G)

I used the weekly snapshot 2013-04-01 of the AMD64-netinst ISO on an
USB-stick.  I used the expert install mode.

Most installation steps were successful, only disc partitioning and the
boot loader installation had problems --- see below.

Also - since this was not my first attempt on that pc - I already knew some
caveats and fixed/circumvented them on-the-fly on the 2nd console.  Also see below.

Actually, I think it makes more sense to do this in partman-md (or
possibly mdadm's initramfs hook) rather than always including efivars.
