Hi,
i understand that debian-cd mailing list is in charge
for discussion of amd64 mini.iso and its generating software:

I hope this does not mean that enough is said on that topic.

Hi,
it might be more simple to just append efi.img as
additional partition rather than unpacking it into
the partition for custom firmware.

Therefore one currently cannot simply omit the "isohybrid" run

So your EFI indeed hopped on that partition.
Possibly only because it sees no other indication where to start
the boot process.
I now wonder whether the MBR p
Hi all,
The ISO in question was in fact the same one mentioned
(http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-amd64/20150107/images/netboot/mini.iso).
I have copied the contents of efi.img to the FAT partition and it does
boot on my EFI firmware now. Thank you!

Hi,
Summary:
There are two EFI System Partitions in mini.iso.
The one for booting from USB stick or qemu -hdb is indeed empty.
One could try whether it helps to copy the files from the FAT
image /boot/grub/efi.img in the ISO to MBR partition 2:
- Put mini.iso onto a USB stick /dev/sdb or other

Apologies if this is the wrong package.
I'm using the jessie rc1 amd64 mini.iso and the EFI partition doesn't
seem to have anything in it. It should have efi/boot/boot.efi for
EFI firmware to load properly. It also doesn't seem to exist in the i386
image either.
