Bug#1040267: partman-efi: Should warn about EFI partition inside raid or lvm

It's fine to have an EFI partition inside a RAID array. One “just” needs
to pass --no-nvram and to register it manually. That's not something
that's achievable via d-i at the moment though (unless recent changes in
grub-installer, near the end of the bookworm release cycle) made it
possible indirectly.
