Unless I did something wrong in the partitioning setup, there were no other operating systems. The only other EFI entry I had created in the firmware setup manually was one for the USB drive.

What do you mean by removable device in this case? /boot/EFI is on the same NVMe drive as the Debian install itself.

Thanks,
Adam
