hello d-i team members, i noticed there is probably an area for
improvement regarding getting bullseye to boot correctly on a mac.
(mac-mini 2012 in my case --- which has intel x86)
I discovered where the problem was for my particular case and the fix
was relatively simple.
Basically all I did was take one of the official bullseye installer
iso's and gave it a GPT-header.

Which ISO image ? AFAICS,
debian-11.1.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso
debian-11.1.0-amd64-i386-netinst.iso
debian-11.1.0-amd64-netinst.iso
debian-11.1.0-i386-DVD-1.iso
debian-11.1.0-i386-netinst.iso
already have a GPT header and an EFI system partition. Only
debian-mac-11.1.0-amd64-netinst.iso
debian-mac-11.1.0-i386-netinst.iso
do not have either.
As mentioned on debian-user: the debian-11.1.0-amd64-netinst.iso or the debian-11.1.0-amd-DVD-1.iso are the appropriate ones to use.
The debian-mac images are for a couple of specific models from 2008/2009 which had problems recognising El Torito images.

Oh yeah! I remember having to ask about this for a 2014 installation I
did on a 2012 MBP. Has it not been documented yet?
Seems like the website and installation guide could benefit from bug
reports requesting documentation of this fact. I believe it's worth the effort, because recent macOS versions don't work well with older Apple hardware.
