Nothing forces the transitional fwupdate to be installed, thus the
package relationships allow some kind of partial upgrade: the
combination of fwupdate/buster and fwupd/bullseye to be installed at the
same time, which creates the mess. The Breaks will fix this - either
fwupdate from buster gets removed or upgraded to the transitional
package in bullseye if fwupd from bullseye is being installed.
