You could probably use the current version of Debian in BIOS emulation mode, create partitions (including EFI) with fdisk this way: (using the installer's partman to assign mount points and filesystems only)
1- EFI (about 75 MB)
2- BIOS boot (2 MB is more than enough)
3+ whatever else you want

Ignore the EFI partition for now and install in BIOS mode.

Then, once the system is ready (you probably want to also use the "deb http://angband.pl nosystemd main" repo), format the EFI partition and set it in fstab to appear at /boot/efi, mount it, and install your 32-bit EFI bootloader of choice!
