IMO "hide the bootable option if GPT" (but maybe that is non-trivial).
It should not be too hard. I can work on a patch against
partman-partitioning if the d-i developers agree with this solution.
Trivial patch attached. Sorry for the delay, I was busy on other topics
and forgot a bit about this one. Should I open a MR too ?
I'm happy to defer to Steve's expertise and yours on those topics.
I'm no expert on partman, so that means Steve's.

Subject: [PATCH] Hide the "Bootable" option on GPT
On GPT, the boot flag is the same as esp and means the partition
has the EFI type, so showing the Bootable option makes no sense.
Toggling it does not work anyway.
Closes: #1034814
