If you boot the kernel of the Debian installer via UEFI, it installs
GRUB EFI but you may have to install flash-kernel manually.

If you you want to use iPXE on ARM, you are on your own. There isn't
even a package with snp.efi provided by Debian. But at least the
installer allows you to set up your partitions and do the installation
on an iSCSI drive.
