Actually there is no technical reason why it shouldn't work: it's grub
which has to care about BIOS vs UEFI.

That being said, it seems that the hurd-i386 variant of the Debian
installation CDs can't be booted on UEFI. I don't know why, it's using
grub, like the i386 variant.

So technically that should be possible with a few fixes, but nobody did
the fixes yet, so without tinkering you will not get it to work this
way, and you have to configure your BIOS to boot in legacy mode.
