In the past, I've had issues on other boards where it failed if the
partitioning process zero'ed out the partition table. In my experience,
re-installing u-boot usually resolved the issue without having the
re-install.

I'd be curious if you re-install and delete each partition individually
and re-create manually vs. using one of the auto-partitioning methods.


This is arguably where a u-boot-installer udeb would make some sense,
but for some boards there's a risk to brick the board(or at least
require re-installing a known-good version), so I've been hesitant to
implement...


This is somewhat related to:

  https://bugs.debian.org/812611

As upgrading u-boot on most systems is essentially the same as
installing it.
