Comments/Problems:
Debian appears to not boot after installing it on this system, I have CSM enabled so as to avoid the whole SecureBoot/UEFI mess. If I pull the SSD from another laptop with an A4-3300M and a Debian Unstable 64-bit install, that copy of Debian will boot up just fine on this Asus laptop, although I'll have a mess of drivers to clean up.

OK, awesome. In that case I'll close this bug. I was worried we had
another problem with Wheezy UEFI, but it seems not. Thanks for
confirming. :-)
It's a known feature that Squeeze won't work with UEFI, we've only
just done the work to add UEFI support for Wheezy.
