removing ubuntu-sponsors while I try to get feedback and sponsor this.
** Description changed:
+ [impact]
+
+ when installing on pi with ubiquity, the /boot/firmware partition gets
+ mounted with extra parameters that causes ubiquity to crash.
+
+ [test case]
+
+ see original description.
+
+ [regression potential]
+
+ this removes the additional mount params from (only) the /boot/firmware
+ mount, so any regression would likely involve problems with that
+ partition. Also since this patches the installation path, regressions
+ may occur during installation.
+
+ [scope]
+
+ Debian does not include the extra mount parameters, so Debian does not
+ need patching.
+
+ This package has been unchanged since bionic. The code needing patching
+ is unchanged between xenial and bionic.
+
+ This needs patching in all releases (Xenial, Bionic, Eoan, Focal).

Hi, I've used ubiquity as an installer for the Raspberry Pi 2/3. One of
the quirks of the Pi is its need for a FAT formatted boot partition.
The Pi packages (flash-kernel etc) expect this to be mounted at
/boot/firmware. However if I give ubiquity this mount point then it
soon crashes.
I believe the problem is to do with the mount options that are
automatically given to fat partitions. I've solved this by applying a
patch to the partman-basicfilesystems package. Please see attached.
I'm not sure whether this is the correct fix, or a more generic fix
should be applied to ubiquity and FAT partitions.
