This needs a couple of English fixes, but I think more importantly it
ought to start by stating the user-visible problem:
The package <systemitem role="package">redmine</systemitem> is
not provided in bullseye, as it was too late migrating over from
the old version of <systemitem role="package">rails</systemitem>
which is at the end of upstream support (receiving fixes for
severe security bugs only) to the version which is in bullseye.

The "You may wait before" bit doesn't work; how about:
If you can't wait for this to happen before upgrading, you can
use a VM or container running buster to isolate this specific
application.
