Comments/Problems:

I was a bit confused as to where I should get the netboot files to
install testing, but the situation is not as bad as I remember from
years ago.  Instructions to set up TFTP net-booting are outdated,
and could be simpler for Network-manager users, I'll try to file a
merge request.

What seemed like a real bug is that, when I tried to boot from
`debian-installer/amd64/bootnetx64.efi`, the boot process tried to
access `grubx64.efi` which was not found.  After I symlinked
`debian-installer/amd64/grubx64.efi` from this location,
booting and installing proceeded completely smoothly.
