I recently installed trixie on an EFI amd64 system.

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

But from a quick look, I think this should be happening already?

Install dosfstools if we have a FAT ESP
AFAICS detected_filesystem is updated only when init.d/* scripts are executed, not when the partition is formatted. As a result, it is not always updated after a partition is formatted.

For example it is updated when using LVM after creating the EFI partition (because LVM setup executes init.d/* scripts) but not when using plain partitions.
