As there seems to be interest, let me try to save your time by 
highlighting one difference I had to make to the installation process 
described in the link.

I didn't succeed with Rufus (on Windows) creating the installation 
partition, there were some strange issues with the source partition not 
mounted during the Debian installation process. Instead, I created an 
ESP partition of 850 MB size, rsynced the content of the ARM64 Debian 
image on it, and extracted the contents of the EFI zip file onto the 
same partition. Then the installation process went very smoothly.
