Sorry for the lack of precisions. Like Steve McIntyre says, I speak 
about UEFI.

Because of the severity of the issue I think a bug report is essential. 
This issue is the main barrier that renders visual impaired unable to 
install a Debian on recent computer. Personally the only way I found is 
to use my braille display to install Debian but I think I'm an 
exception, not all people can read braille and has braille display at 
his disposition.

Best regards.
