Have you mounted the EFI partition? Update-grub change grub, I 
don't think

it changes the FIE partitions. And check motherboard bios/uefi for the
default entry

I went into the UEFI bios, and changed the default entry.  Now I get the 
correct Debian grub boot screen without the extra entries.  Once I get the 
rest of this system configured, I'm going to have to go back and really 
understand what goes on in the UEFI.  


I'm marking this as SOLVED.


Glad you solve it! If you are going to use several OS on you PC with UEFI, 
check a solution call rEFInd (uefi  boot manager). I use it for dual boot 
and it was once upon a time the way I use to transition Debian to uefi.


Many thanks for the help.
