What does this mean in practice? Does grub no longer detect other OS, and if so how can I re-enable os-prober while installing debian (before it installs grub)?

grub-installer will probe other OSes and enable os-prober by default if it detects any.

You can edit /etc/default/grub and set GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true or false (warning: reversed logic, true=disabled).
