for experimental: yes, please!
for unstable: what Helmut said & does.

I'd propose to be more "aggressive" and use 2021-08-14 as the date, IOW
the bullseye release date. 2023-06-10 (=bookworm release date) would IMO
be too agressive *now*, but fine after the trixie release.
Thanks for bringing this up; cruft like this wastes human and computing
ressources regularily, so we regularily need to reduce it, as it accumulates
all the time.
