I've been poking around firmware setups of new laptops, and I'm intrigued by a new option that at least all the new Dell laptops have, called httpboot. It seems that you can just provide a URL to an EFI stub and then it would boot that (it's then up to whatever you do in that stub to boot something that can set up further networking etc), but it seems like a great thing to support in some future Debian release if possible, since you wouldn't even have to write as much as a boot USB disk in order to install your system.
I'm not at all sure about where all of it's limitations are, and the documentation I could find on Dell's website are minimal, but if I have access to such a machine again I'll poke around and experiment a bit and write some notes for this list.
