Dear Maintainer,

I am installing Debian "testing" ("Jessie") on a MacBook Pro 8,2.

When using the graphical expert install, EFI partitions seem to be ignored when
validating the partition structure.

I have tried both with the already existant Mac EFI and an additional ad-hoc-
created EFI partion.

When I execute "Finish partitioning and write changes to disk" I get a "No EFI
partition was found".
Workaround: use the text install (always in "expert mode").


Best,
Leandro
