  if you are not mixing Debian with any other system and
installing from scratch all you have to make sure of is
that the system is detected as an UEFI system to begin
with and then it should just work.

  however, since i've had grub updates screw up my 
preferences i've switched over to using refind as my boot 
loader and that works for me.  i find it very easy as 
i've set the configuration to use the most recent kernel 
as the default and then have alternate selections 
available if i want to boot those instead.  i haven't 
booted from grub in quite a long time now but i do still 
have it installed.
