Hi,
I can just show you what I have in the only efi booting system of mine:

/etc/fstab
/dev/nvme0n1p1 on /boot/efi type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0077,dmask=0077,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/nvme0n1p2 on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro)
+ other partitions not relevant


in boot/efi there are this files and dirs:

ls -la /boot/efi/
total 12
drwx------ 3 root root 4096 Jan  1  1970 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 May 20 14:45 ..

the two grub.cfg files are identical.

Running update-grub shows:

# update-grub

The following grub and efi packages are installed:

dpkg --get-selections | grep grub
grub-common                                     install
grub-efi-amd64                                  install

libefiboot1:amd64                               install
libefivar1:amd64                                install


The system was setup by the devuan installer iso.

Hope this helps.
