I'm not sure you need a separate /boot partition. I am using Bullseye
weekly builds, so I may have a more recent d-i and grub than you do.
Also this is on i386 on a small (60GB) drive, and a DOS type MBR.

I have one LVM partition, with swap and root in that. The LVM partition
starts at sector 2048, so I expect grub resides on the first 2048
sectors.

I suspect one can get an idea of things grub can do by
listing /boot/grub/i386-pc/.
