Received answers did not seem to answer my question.
That suggests a unclear question ;}

On my test system partition labels are:
   /dev/sda7	full-10
   /dev/sda9	minimal-11

Default Grub menu after install of buster reads:
   Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) (on /dev/sda7)

I wish it to read:
   Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) (full-10)

After installing bullseye and running update-grub without any manual 
intervention, I wish appropriate lines to read:
   Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) (full-10)
   Debian GNU/Linux 10 (bullseye) (minimal-11)

Possible?
If so, how?
TIA
