This is what my project, "extrepo", wants to accomplish: to make it
easily possible to enable repositories that are not enabled by default.
You can enable backports on bullseye by way of the following two
commands:

sudo apt install extrepo
sudo extrepo enable debian_backports

(there are a lot of other repositories you can enable that way, btw; to
get a full list, run "extrepo search", although you might want to pipe
it into a pager ;-) )

Adding an installer module for extrepo is on my TODO list, but I do have
a lot on my plate and thus am not sure I'll be able to finish that work
in time for the release.

You should send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]; they're the only people
who can do something about that.

Well done!

I must say that I don't see any difference between the first and the
second if everything fits on one line; the only difference that I see is
when you resize the window, in which case the second example is simply
better, IMO.
