Hi,
Debian 11 is current Debian Stable release.
There's a page on the Debian wiki titled
"Advice For New Users On Not Breaking Their Debian System" [1]
and the very first item of advice there is
"If you're trying to install software that isn't available in the current Debian
Stable release, it's not a good idea to add repositories for other
Debian releases."
So it might be a good idea for anyone considering adding additional software
outside of what is officially packaged for a Debian Stable release to evaluate
the information given on that page regarding different methods of doing so,
and possible consequences.
