Hi,
Bug cannot be fixed see:
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Dpkg/FAQ#Q:_What_are_the_filesystem_requirements_by_dpkg.3F

In short:
Although /boot/efi must be on a vfat partition, /boot cannot be on a vfat
partition.

It must be on some regular linux partition where it is possible to set
symlinks.

Good luck to all who will struggle with this!
j.
