Almost, see the Key release dates at https://release.debian.org/

Would be possible in theory, but we won't.

To quote myself in #974769:
"
The qgis package in Debian tracks the version in the upstream LTR repo,
which will remain at 3.10.x until January, see:
https://qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/development/roadmap.html#release-schedule
With the 3.16.4 release scheduled for February, after the Soft Freeze,
we're unlikely to get in into bullseye.
The version in bullseye at time of release is irrelevant as the recent
LTR from testing is made available in backports.
"
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=974769#12
This is no different than having 2.18.28 in buster, and 3.10.x in
buster-backports.

There is no need.
