Preseeding over the network: network boot set to UEFI.

Default preseed sets auto recipe which assumes an atomic partition layout which has MBR

Can we please have a UEFI layout as a possible default?

It seems from partman-doc that there is an EFI layout: is it possible to create a UEFI atomic partition layout?

Something like this, perhaps

512 512 650 fat16
        $primary{ }
        method{ efi }
        format{ } .

500 10000 1000000 ext4
	$primary{ }
	method{ format }
	format{ }
	use_filesystem{ }
	filesystem{ ext4 }
	mountpoint{ / } .

64 512 300% linux-swap
	method{ swap }
	format{ } .


Thank you for your consideration
