I had never heard of petitboot.
The information at:
  https://packages.debian.org/buster/petitboot
  https://manpages.debian.org/buster/petitboot/petitboot.8.en.html
is just enough to tantalize.

It may be appropriate for a personal project.
I have a machine dedicated to multiple experimental Debian installs.
If I read the above links correctly, petitboot will allow me to chose any system installed on the primary drive or connected flash drives.

Suggested links?
Is there a petitboot related mailing list?
TIA
