I'm afraid I don't have time to do the refactoring and testing any time
soon.

I had a look at d-i's preseed documentation. And this is what I come up
with. Note it's untested patch, just a proof-of-concept what the final
recipe might look like.

A proper upstream patch will require factoring out the common bits first
(/boot, / and swap) and then append test case specific bits (in this
case, the EFI boot partition) later.
