archive: bullseye Sources files contain multiple versions of packages - why?



I happened to stumble over the fact that bullseye Sources files contain
numerous versions of some of the packages.

For example:

  $ wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/bullseye/main/source/Sources.gz

  $ zgrep -A 2 'Package: util-linux' Sources.gz | grep -v Binary
  Package: util-linux
  Version: 2.33.1-0.1
  --
  Package: util-linux
  Version: 2.34-0.1
  --
  Package: util-linux
  Version: 2.36-3

Those three versions happen to be the current versions from stable,
testing, and unstable. Does anyone know why these are all in this one file?
The version from unstable is the most surprising.
