I just did an svn --show-updates -verbose status from
packages/partman/partman-efi in my working copy and got the following:

* an "svn: subversion/libsvn_wc/status.c:899: tweak_statushash:Assertion
  repos_text_status == svn_wc_status_added failed" error.  This was
  at the end of scanning the update.d  directory.  The command
  aborted at that point so I can't see if valid_filesystems dir is still
  in the repository. (It shouldn't).

* The file efi_visuals is empty or weird or ??? as it shows '?' for
   revision and author.

This file fixes the problem you mention above.  You  should see
'EFIboot' following the 'F' and nothing in the mount point column
for these displays.

As for what is going on in svn, I don't like the looks of it.  If
the file efi_visuals is empty or missing, you will see the error
you report.

This appears to be a commit of the most recent patch since
the report does show debian/rules as being modified but what
is going on does not look good to me.
