I'll try to test UEFI installations with my custom images on actual
hardware this week. Saw no problems on a QEMU VM so far.

I want to eventually write an InstallingDebianOn/Chromebooks page, but
have been delaying that because my aim is to make it conceptually as
small as "Enable 'Developer Mode', write this image to a USB disk, press
CTRL + U to boot from it, follow the installer". Maybe as an appendix to
that, or something like DebianInstaller/Chromebooks? I don't know.
