Bug#1085849: partman-efi hangs the installer (trivial bug/fix)

[Pascal Hambourg]

Package: partman-efi
Version: 104

Dear maintainer,

In update.d/efi_sync_flag, a required parameter is missing in a
parted_server command.

open_dialog SET_NAME ""
should be
open_dialog SET_NAME $id ""

This makes the installer user interface hang when the command is executed.

Currently the command is executed under specific conditions (e.g. create
a EFI partition and commit it or use an existing FAT32 partition as EFI,
then use it as something else or do not use it) due to subtle
interaction with the 'boot' flag management in partman-base. I triggered
the bug while testing a patch making partman-efi stop improperly using
the 'boot' flag (and use only the 'esp' flag as it should).
