That is how it works for me when I boot the installer usb in legacy bios
mode regardless whether EFI is enabled in the bios.
I just now inserted a Debian 12 installer usb and rebooted, making sure
to catch the bios boot device selection screen. It presented me with 9
boot options:
# 6 was "General UDisk 5.00"
# 9 was "UEFI: General UDisk 5.00"
My other 7 boot options are irrelevant to this.
If I boot the 6th option and install Debian it will install like you
described above. If I boot the 9th option and install Debian it will
create, among others, an efi partition mounted at /boot/efi that will
not be empty.
If I did not have EFI enabled in the bios then my boot device #9 would
be missing from the above list.
