Okay, I just got it to work almost perfectly. I grabbed flash_spi.img.gz from the latest pre-release of https://github.com/sigmaris/u-boot/releases, put it on an SD card and ran it. It eventually showed an output to my HDMI saying it installed U-Boot correctly. Then I removed the SD card, flashed the assembled Debian installer to my USB again, and ran through the installation exactly as I described. When I booted, i got the following error: Booting using the fdt blob at 0x1f00000
I restarted, got the same error, then restarted again and suddenly it worked and booted successfully. This is a known issue (see: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=8685&page=8), that Sigmaris has already worked around, but the version installed by the Debian installer maybe hasn't. For now, I just reboot till it works.
