Name "EFI boot partition" is non-standard

The strings come from debian / partman-efi (see below). Most of our translations come from Debian, and it would reduce amount of translations we have if we diverge from debian on this one. All references are attached below. Can you please open a bug report in debian against partman-efi package with proposed consistent naming for all of these?

_Description: In order to start your new system, the firmware on your Itanium system loads the boot loader from its private EFI partition on the hard disk. The boot loader then loads the operating system from that same partition. An EFI partition has a FAT16 file system formatted on it and the bootable flag set. Most installations place the EFI partition on the first primary partition of the same hard disk that holds the root file system.

Are there "non-system" EFI partitions? in that case /system/ is redundant. What do you think about just using "EFI partition" ? afterall, it's something meant for UEFI firmware to look for and execute - which might be a bootloader, firmware upgrader tools, or shell, or efi games =)))

It's referred to as an "EFI System Partition" (or sometimes a "UEFI System Partition") in the EFI spec, so IMHO that's the name that should be used when referring to it in any "official" way within Ubuntu. Although there are, AFAIK, no other EFI partitions, IMHO it's important to use the name as it appears in the EFI documentation; significant deviation or shortening will raise doubts in users' minds about whether two documents or programs refer to the same partition. Furthermore, although the EFI spec doesn't compress "EFI System Partition" into an acronym, that's common practice -- many people and documents refer to the "ESP." The term "EFI partition," of course, does not lead logically to "ESP" as an acronym.

I've filed bug #739824 with Debian on this issue (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=739824).

This bug was fixed in the package partman-efi - 62ubuntu1

---------------
partman-efi (62ubuntu1) vivid; urgency=medium

  * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
    - Remove efi-modules dependency; it seems to be built into Ubuntu
      kernels now.
    - Require partman-base >= 129 to support a null value for the name.
    - Only force an EFI system partition on ia64.
  * Allow x86/macs booted in legacy mode to use EFI System partitions.
  * Avoid false warning about being in EFI mode on x86/macs booted in
    legacy mode.
