So that looks as if you're running buster at the latest point-release,
with the exception of any packages that are being held back, like
presumably the kernel.

This file looks quite "crafted", as if you have some specific
requirements.

So it looks as if you installed buster quite early in its release
period, and have been upgrading it to 10.7. That would mean that
you must have been upgrading the kernel-image package already.

I'm not sure why you're not considering contrib and non-free packages
at this time whereas you still have these in the stretch lines below.

You already have this line above, as buster. In such a crafted file as
this, I'm surprised you'd want to suddenly consider bullseye sources
on their release day.

Are you running some specific firmware packages from the old release?
Could this be a reason for not routinely performing apt-get's
dist-upgrade to upgrade the kernel?

I don't know whether these lines have ever been activated since you
originally installed 10.0. I have no idea of the consequences that
activating them would have, and whether apt might install packages
that prevent others from being able to upgrade.
Summing up, it looks as though you've probably been keeping the system
up to date with apt-get update and apt-get upgrade. I'd be
interested to see what apt-get dist-upgrade would give you as its
intentions. (And answer no if they are unsatifactory.)

Backports kernels should have "bpo" in their version, so it's not that.
Cheers,
