Some questions:

1. Can Debian be installed on a hard disk which used a
     GPT partitioning table??

2. Is it possible to install Debian-11 on an external,
     pluggable, medium  such as a USB-pendrive or
     a USB-harddisk?
     Please note: I'm NOT talking about making a
     "live USB" with dd. I mean a full, upgradable,
     installation.
     If so, can anybody point me at a how-2 or othe dox.

Thanks in advance
Dynosaw

Yes. Debian installer will also respect UEFI if it is present.

I believe so, but haven't done it. Note that you may have to tell the
computer's firmware to enable that device for booting. That normally
should be disabled due to concerns about security.

Of course. Any Linux can do that, and I've been doing it for years.
Install from one USB stick, and select USB second stick as your target
hard drive. Then, boot from your second stick which will become your
main hard drive from this point.
Be aware of UEFI limitations though, your USB stick may not be bootable
under UEFI mode, but under BIOS/Legacy mode it certainly will.

For buggy UEFI Firmware it might help to install GRUB to the removable 
media path:

https://wiki.debian.org/UEFI#Force_grub-efi_installation_to_the_removable_media_path

(this is probably a good idea anyway if the USB stick is meant to be 
used on several different computers)

Kind regards,
Andrei

Start the installer. Plug the pendrive/hard disk in. Partition the
device. Install.

Note however, that it could be slow compared to say, an SSD. I did this
with buster and had Emby server running also. Between the two, I got lag
most times.

I'd suggest an SSD if you have one. Or, perhaps a recommended USB stick.
Perhaps someone here has suggestions for such stick that maintains r/w
over a while and is fast.

Goodluck!
