I think this is expected.  The Debian packages create a cluster when you
install the server packages only if you don't already have a cluster.
Here it's clearly that you do have one, so a new one isn't created.  You
could create one yourself with pg_createcluster.  However, if what you
want to do is to upgrade the 16 one, then I think you don't need to
create a new one, but instead use pg_upgradecluster which will create
one for you.
