The latest upload of dosfstools sadly broke grml-debootstrap's
mkfs.fat usage (see #987014). It used to work fine until dosfstools 4.1:

| root@grml ~ # mkfs.fat -F32 -n "EFI System Partition" /dev/loop1
| mkfs.fat 4.1 (2017-01-24)
| mkfs.fat: warning - lowercase labels might not work properly with DOS or Windows

Now with dosfstools v4.2 (as present in bullseye) it's failing though:

| root@grml ~ # mkfs.fat -F32 -n "EFI System Partition" /dev/loop1
| mkfs.fat 4.2 (2021-01-31)
| mkfs.fat: Label can be no longer than 11 characters

This breaks installations with grml-debootstrap when EFI partitions are involved.

debdiff between 0.95 and 0.96 as follows:
