In the case of enabled Secure Boot it does not work for grub 2.06-13 in Debian 12 bookworm. You have the following options:
- Let grub from trixie boot bookworm or vice versa by enabling os-prober.
- Install grub 2.12 from bookworm-backports.
- Change EFI/debian to e.g. EFI/debian13 for trixie (by changing GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR) - Move EFI/debian for bookworm or for trixie to the EFI partition with SUSE and use EFI/debian for both.

UEFI boot menu may still be confusing without additional tuning.

I hope, UEFI implementation ignores the "removable" EFI/Boot directory.
