Sorry, that was a typo, I meant the network installer. Easy mistake to make
since the terms are used seemingly interchangeably. Are you saying the
mini.iso is not the network installer? If so, it's even more misleading,
because that's where the network installer download link leads to.

Title:
  netboot mini.iso doesn't support UEFI boot

Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The amd64 mini.iso (in at least trusty through current vivid) has an
  EFI boot partition, but it's empty. This renders the image unbootable
  on systems without BIOS boot enabled.

  This is easily worked around by copying {boot,grub}x64.efi from eg. a
  desktop image into the empty partition.
