This will occur if you upgrade *any* package that installs files on
/boot.  For that reason, Debian does not support /boot being on FAT or
similarly limited filesystems, and the conventional location for
mounting the EFI boot partition is /boot/efi.

(Certain Debian derivatives do support your configuration by not having
any packages that install files in /boot.)
