Oh duh, the nvram is on the board itself, not on the disk drive. Okay, that makes more sense. The machine itself came with windows, and then I had a different drive in it with Debian on it. Originally legacy mode, at some point I switched to EFI and used both shimx64.efi and grubx64.efi at alternative points in the BIOS. So that was added by me in the BIOS, not d-i!

And then I installed this drive, which had Mint on it, and I added an entry in the BIOS to boot it.
