Comments/Problems:

Primary problem was that the installed system did not boot. This is a known
problem of some Acer UEFI firmwares, which have hardcoded the path where
Windows puts its boot loader and instead ignore the EFI variables.

To fix this, I had to move all .efi and .CSV files from
/target/boot/efi/EFI/debian to /target/boot/efi/EFI/Microsoft/Boot and
rename shimx64.efi to bootmgfw.efi.

This can be done in the final stage of the installer right before the
reboot.
