Re: linux-headers-amd64 : Depends: linux-headers-5.10.0-0.bpo.12-amd64 (= 5.10.103-1~bpo10+1) but it is not installable

Understand that Debian Buster is going to be EOL ~2022-08 (https://wiki.debian.org/DebianReleases) and LTS EOL ~2024-06 (https://wiki.debian.org/LTS), but running `apt dist-upgrade` is not my concern.

I keep maintenance some Ansible resource which depends on Debian Buster / Bullseye / Testing, e.g.

• https://github.com/alvistack/ansible-role-kernel/blob/master/vars/debian-10.yml
• https://github.com/alvistack/docker-debian/blob/master/packer/docker-10/packer.json
• https://github.com/alvistack/vagrant-debian/blob/master/packer/debian-10-libvirt/packer.json

Due to this bug, now my GitLab CI build failed unexpectedly:

• (PASS, 2022-07-01) https://gitlab.com/alvistack/vagrant-debian/-/jobs/2662889482
• (FAILED, 2022-07-04) https://gitlab.com/alvistack/vagrant-debian/-/jobs/2684565158
  

I am going to support Debian Buster until its TLS EOL (~2024-06), similar as my Ubuntu 18.04 (~2023-04) and CentOS 7 (~2024-06) support schedule.

Back to my original concern:

• If Debian Buster Backport is still active and suppose to be functioning, this missing linux-headers-5.10.0-0.bpo.12-amd64 (= 5.10.103-1~bpo10+1) is a bug and therefore need a hotfix
• If we are going to shutdown on going maintenance for Debian Buster Backport (due to EOL on next month), please at least rolling back to previous version and keep it functioning
