It does not match. Your partition layout is for legacy BIOS. I assume
that would be grub-pc-bin package, but I do not know Debian grub
packages well enough. If you intend to use EFI for booting you need
EFI System Partition (and do not need BIOS boot partition).

It is hard to tell what happens. Either you have another disk with ESP
or you have some GRUB code in MBR+BIOS boot partition, but do not have
corresponding /boot/grub/i386-pc.
