Hello,

Since a lot of PCs will have an amd64 UEFI instead of a BIOS in the next
years, it would be useful to offer the possibility to install an
UEFI-bootable Debian system, which requires to have an UEFI-bootable
installer too.

I wrote a detailed explanation on <je7174$b6p$1@dough.gmane.org> [1] but
here is a summary for the part the relates to the Debian installation
media:
* Installing an UEFI-bootable system requires to boot the installed in
  UEFI mode too because there are some UEFI calls to do to declare it to
  the UEFI boot manager so that it is offered as a boot option after
  that.
* To be UEFI-bootable, a removable medium only need to be formatted in
  FAT and to contain a bootloader at /efi/boot/boot<arch>.efi (unsure
  for optical media). It can be multiarch, and even BIOS-bootable at the
  same time.
* At partionning time, and UEFI System Partition should be created and
  formatted in FAT if there is not already one. In the latter case, it
  should not be re-formatted. In both cases, it should be mounted at
  /boot/efi (that is, /target/boot/efi during the installation).
* When booted from UEFI, the installed should offer to install grub-efi
  or elilo.

   [ Steve McIntyre ]
   * Merge x86 EFI support from the EFI_support branch (Closes: #658352)
     + Pull in grub-efi for amd64 and i386
     + Lots of extra code in boot-x86:
       - pull grub EFI pieces out of the latest debian-cd_info.tar.gz
         blobs in d-i, if they're there. If so, use them to make x86 images
         bootable via EFI (both via CD and USB)
       - parse the isolinux menus already provided in the d-i build and
         generate equivalent grub menus, complete with themes for a
         reasonable layout with graphics and titles.
       - depending more and more on xorriso rather than genisoimage...
   * Add version-tracking into dependency sorting. Closes: #687949)
     + Use/parse output from a newer version of apt so that "apt-cache
       depends" will include version information on dependencies.
     + All tracking of packages now include versions, so we pass around
       hashes of {package name, comparison op, version} everywhere instead
       of simply passing package names as strings.
     + Add the APT::Cache::ShowVersion=1 option to apt-cache calls to
       turn on version reporting. Needs a locally-patched version of apt
       *for now*, but expecting that to be fixed for the Wheezy
       release. The new code degrades gracefully if version info is not
       available.
     + Add a dependency on libdpkg-perl for version comparison code.
   * Improve architecture support in which_deb. Closes: #695244
     + Check all the architectures available in the archive if we're not
       specifically told which to use (e.g. on source builds)
     + If we fail to find packages/sources for the specified package, say
       so and bail out properly.
   * Switch boot-x86 to depend on xorriso totally rather than genisoimage
     now; working UEFI support needs it. We also need very recent (1.2.6)
     xorriso for various bugfixes, ideally.
