As someone who's just gone through a Debian UEFI install all I can say is: this couldn't have come sooner.

Hey Robert.
What problems did you have? Did you fill in the installation report or talk to anyone on the mailing list or #debian-boot on irc.debian.net?

I've filed a bug report about the problems I had getting grub to install.
Beyond that the worst thing was the whole feeling of bafflement over whether d-i knew what it was doing UEFI-wise the whole time.
d-i's partitioner is... interesting to say the least.

I'm not sure how much good that will do for debian - they're not a UEFI member, and don't typically come to the plugfests. Canonical is and occasionally does come to the plugfests, but that's not really the same thing.
The UEFI plugfest is typically an NDAed event for UEFI members only, and
That said, if you're involved in a Linux distribution (or relevant upstream projects), "adopter" level membership is free: http://www.uefi.org/join . We could really use all the participation from the Linux community we can get.

Thanks for the info, I'm looking into signing up now on behalf of Debian.
