Title:
  custom installation says EFI system partition will be formatted ext4

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  1. Boot ubuntu-14.04-desktop-amd64.iso in a Virtual Box VM using UEFI.
  2. Installation type: something else
  3. click New Partition Table button
  4. click free space then + button, set Size 200MB, set Use as to EFI boot partition, click OK.

  Result: In the top portion of the UI, sda1 is reported as having file
  system (ext4).

  Expected: The file system for EFI System partitions is most correctly
  described as being the EFI file system, but could also be described as
  FAT, or FAT16/FAT32. In any case it's not ext4.
