There is a fork and major rewrite of the Memtest86+: 
https://github.com/martinwhitaker/pcmemtest
Unlike Memtest86+, PCMemTest can be used with UEFI as well as with legacy BIOS.

I think Ubuntu and Debian should follow Mageia Linux distribution, where
Memtest86 is replaced with PCMemTest, see Release Notes:

PCMemTest
This is a fork and major rewrite of the Memtest86+ memory test utility. Unlike 
Memtest86+, PCMemTest can be used with UEFI as well as with legacy BIOS boot. 
PCMemTest replaces Memtest86+ as the memory test utility on all the Mageia 
ISOs. It may also be installed in a user's system.

PCMemTest can be started from GRUB EFI mode like Linux kernel:

menuentry "Memory Test (PCMemTest" {
        search --no-floppy --set=root --file /install/pcmemtest
        set gfxpayload=640x400,800x600,1024x768
        linux   /install/pcmemtest
}
