Verification-done on cosmic with partman-efi/71ubuntu4.1:

Starting a d-i install with proposed enabled; with partman-efi installed in the d-i environment; I could verify that using manual partitioning and omitting to create an ESP in UEFI mode leads to showing the error message and blocking the user from continuing with the install. If the user creates their own ESP; then the install continues with no messages. This behaves the same in CSM mode or without CSM.

When installing in Guided Partitioning, in UEFI or BIOS mode; the user sees no warning and the install completes successfully.

In BIOS mode, the install just completes successfully with manual partitioning since an ESP is not required.
