Bug#1122921: debian-installer: doesn't install fsck.vfat even on EFI systems, which have a vfat ex def and explicitly enable fscking it in fstab



Package: debian-installer
Version: 20250803+deb13u2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I recently installed trixie on an EFI amd64 system.

By definition, this means I have a vfat partition which is required for
booting (and indeed I had an ESP on /dev/vda1).
Additionally, /etc/fstab for /boot/efi has a fs_passno field of 1,
so fscking is explicitly enabled.

And yet! I don't have a fsck.vfat, so it doesn't get checked, ever.

I think the target ought to have a fsck for all the filesystems
configured in d-i anyway (but especially when it's part of the boot
sequence), so d-i ought to pull in dosfstools I think?

Best,
