the full error message at the end of update-grub:

Warning: os-prober will not be executed to detect other bootable partitions.
Systems on them will not be added to the GRUB boot configuration.
Check GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER documentation entry.

Question: why would this desirable?
it's totally new to me.

Back story:
I just upgraded a Bullseye install to Sid.
this is a multi-boot machine, my daily driver is Bullseye.
after reboot my GRUB had only one entry

I was able to get it back (thanks to Google)
edit /etc/default/grub
add GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false

saved then ran grub-install /dev/sd(foo) && update-grub
