Package: debian-installer
Version: 20150107

I've tried using each beta2 + a daily image (from 20150109) to install
debian on a laptop, which already had partitions in place.  This includes
an EFI partition, which was formatted on a previous distribution using
"mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/foo"

During installation of jessie, the installer recognized the partition well,
and allowed me to delete the contents.  However, it refused to easily allow
me to format it, always opting to keep the data (shown with a "K" in the
summary page).

I suspect that the debian installer wasn't quite sure how to handle it
being 32-bit, as the D-I seems to prefer and use 16.  As a result, the
partitioning failed.  I was eventually able to go back, and after some
selecting/un-selecting, finally noticed that the installer flagged the
partition with "f" for format.
