considering i use only testing in my apt sources list and do not reference bullseye or bookworm directly this is precisely the reason why i use testing and follow it. i don't care about specific version names. having to figure this out is a PITA. definitely a BUG IMO. yet another place where security has made things worse for people who don't need it. i don't know if apt has been fixed or not to honor the don't remove packages from the cache flag i have set, but the last time i ran it ages ago it cleared things out i didn't want it to remove so i won't run it again. i always use apt-get. songbird
