Comments/Problems:

The problem is that the efi entry of debian is shown incorrectly in
the bios (a blank line instead of the name) or the bios doesn't not
responded correctly (showing a wrong numbers of entries and labels) or
the bios doesn't load when the Debian entry of the efi partition is
selected. In the last case it only shows a blank screen and I need to
power off the laptop.

I noticed this problem when trying to install Debian in a laptop with
a dual boot setup of Windows 11 and Ubuntu 22.04 (before was 20.04).
Debian will reemplace Ubuntu in his same partitions (Ubuntu never had
in all these years any problems I'm talking about). With both versions
of Ubuntu I don't notice any problem. The only problem is with Debian
(11 and 12). I can install Debian perfectly and it boots with no
problem if it is selected in the bios entry, but the problem is how
the bios recognized the debian entry in the efi partition.

I will separate the cases of who i installed Debian (both versions 11
and 12 have the same result):

Case 1: In the first attempt to install Debian, I did not delete the
ubuntu entry from the efi partition and the result was three entries.
One for Windows (that works), one for Ubuntu (that does not work of
course) and one for Debian that works but is shown as a blank line. If
I remove the ubuntu entry and select the debian one, I can not enter
my bios. The bios showed a black screen and only the power key of my
laptop changed the scenario. Similar to what is described here:
https://superuser.com/questions/1348328/cant-enter-to-bios-after-debian-install-black-screen

Case 2: Remove Ubuntu entry and install debian later. Here the result
was only one entry with a blank line as a label that loaded Debian,
but I lost the entry of Windows. If I manually remove the Debian
entry, then the Windows entry shows up again.

Regards.

Lester.
