I'm not speaking autoritatively here, but please do not do that. It
changes the semantics and meaning what's happening and doe not sort
anymore before the 2:4.13.13+dfsg-1.

~deb11u1 described that the update was build upon the unstable upload
and was basically a rebuild for bullseye(-security). Subsequent
updates added patches on top, so numbered ~deb11u1.

Would the update have been a fresh import of upstream on top of the
packaging then it would have been intially 2:4.13.13+dfsg-*0*+deb11u1,
and subsequent uploads with patches on top (note the 0 in the Debian
revision). (expections in how this is handled exists, especially e.g.
in src:linux where stable series are followed separately).

This is done to have at any time, the sorting correctly to an upload
to the upper suite, even if testing now has a higher version,
2:4.13.13+dfsg-1 did exist for real in the archive history.

Thus Z~debXuY can be perfectly valid, depending on what the upload
wants to express. Exceptions exists always. but I would not change the
versioning here in the mid. In particular because it was on purpose
not choosen :4.13.13+dfsg-*1*+deb11u1.
