Package: dpkg
Version: 1.20.7.1
Severity: important
On EFI computer it is possible to use the ESP partition directly as
/boot. But dpkg has problems to upgrade packages, e.g. the linux-image
packages, then since it tries to create hardlinks as backup of existing
files. This is not supported for FAT32 partitions.
dpkg should include some check if the target device systems may not
support hard links so /boot on FAT32 is supported.

Don't do that. :) This is not a supported setup by dpkg. See
<https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Dpkg/FAQ#Q:_What_are_the_filesystem_requirements_by_dpkg.3F>.
Closing the report.
Thanks,
