If we're going to break string freeze and diverge from Debian, could we at least drop the word "Debian" here? s/install Debian/install/

(That change is also appropriate to forward upstream, AFAICS)

Also, I don't find the new text particularly clear either and would not recommend breaking string freeze for it, with or without the dropping of the word "Debian". Can we workshop this further (perhaps together with Debian) before committing to anything?

Also also, why in the world do we have to *warn* the user about creating an ESP partition? This should be a FATAL ERROR in the setup of a UEFI-installed system, and d-i should refuse to proceed with the installation without one!
