Is the attached debdiff closer to what you had in mind?
Yes this fixes most of my remarks :)
- Please explain how you tested the update.
See Bug#1141987. I don't have any Bullseye host left, but the fixes
are one-character changes that have been verified to boot on Bookworm
and Trixie.
I believe this needs an actual test, too many times I've seen updates
that shouldn't fail, do fail -_-
You can run a bullseye VM and do some manual tests.
Additionally, Salsa CI only ran trivial tests, due to lack of
'isolation-machine' support:

We have some docs for testing locally with autopkgtest:
https://lts-team.pages.debian.net/wiki/TestSuites/autopkgtest.html#full-vm-environment-isolation-machine
debusine.debian.net should also be able to run the 'isolation-machine'
autopkgtests. It has specific rules for dhcpcd, imported from
ci.debian.net, otherwise you can force it to use VMs:
