After removing bullseye-backports from my sources lists and doing
"apt update", I've tried
strace -o str.out -f -s 999999 reportbug linux-image-6.1.0-13-amd64
but in the strace output, the string "bpo11" appears in 2 places only:
[...] manpages-de (<< 4.17.0-2~bpo11+1), manpages-fr (<< 4.17.0-2~bpo11+1) [...]
(thus unrelated to this issue) and in the message
193537 write(1, " bullseye-backports (backports-policy): 6.1.55+1~bpo11+1\n", 58) = 58
So I'm wondering where this information comes from.
