That was very useful. I've condensed it into a file (attached) for
my own use. The footnotes are notes, guesses and queries.

My main question is — there are three identical listings taken at
different times; all say:

> # mount | grep '.dev.sd'
> /dev/sdb3 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro)
> /dev/sdb1 on /boot/efi type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0077,dmask=0077,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro)

and yet two are labelled as wrong, and the third as correct.

I found the device letters a bit confusing when you're running the
rescue system. AFAICT, sda is always the SSD. So I was perplexed
by "Rescue operations -> Execute shell in /dev/sda3" because
your SSD only appeared to have two partitions in the OP.

What seems to be missing from the account is any consideration of
the so-called NVRAM variables, about which I know nothing. I'm
still working through how hiding the EFI/debian tree makes the
option-less booting suddenly work, but then, I don't know how
closely the Option key corresponds to pressing F12 on, say, a
Dell PC, which is how you set the device boot order.
(I haven't touched a Mac since the last century when they were
in a little AiO box.)

Cheers,
David.
