Shouldn't there normally be EFI/boot/bootx64.efi?

Not by default. It happens only if you choose to install a copy of the boot
loader in the removable device path. The option is available only in expert
install or after changing priority for questions to low.

Agreed. We deliberately do *not* install there by default as this can
cause other OSes not to boot. We try to be more accommodating than
Windows etc. :-/

This is too detrimental to Debian IMO, there are too many broken UEFI firmwares out there. As I suggested in a previous post, what about setting grub2/force_efi_extra_removable true by default when the file does not exist ?
