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

Yes, but after creating the RAID array, one can use guided partitioning
and point it at the RAID disk, and that'll happily partition it and put
an EFI partition there (see #1040266), and then grub-installer just
fails and the user is at a loss without understanding why when they
don't notice that an EFI partition was added inside the RAID array.

Ok, but the warning still seems precious to me. And it it might hint
that possibility (and the warning won't prevent the user from doing it).
