This is because the kernel is signed with the debians secureboot key. If you are using secure boot do NOTHING. If you are NOT using secure boot I am sure it is safe to do the following. Edit /etc/default/grub and change the name to whatever you prefer update your initrd. (in a terminal run as root update-initramfs -u) and on next boot it will have that name even if it is Donald Duck.

Just checked, and yes I do have secure boot enabled.

Thank you for the response.

Not really much of an issue, but after migrating from Buster, GRUB lists the boot option as Debian GNU/Linux.
Anyone know why?
This doesn't cause any issues otherwise, selecting Debian boots normally into Devuan.
