Take a look at:

  https://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/bullseye/Release

The Release file is signed(either inline as InRelease or detatched as
Release.gpg), and has checksums for the relevent SHA256SUMS files that
you are looking for...

It is admittedly a bit indirect and non-obvious, having to download a
Release file, check the signature on that, then download the relevent
SHA256SUMS files and check their checksums with the (verified) Release
file... but there is at least a chain of verifyability...

It would be nice to have fewer steps to verify, because any complicated
verification process quickly downgrades to no verification process...
