  considering i use only testing in my apt sources list and do not
reference bullseye or bookworm directly this is precisely the reason
why i use testing and follow it.  i don't care about specific 
version names.  having to figure this out is a PITA.

  definitely a BUG IMO.  yet another place where security has
made things worse for people who don't need it.

  i don't know if apt has been fixed or not to honor the
don't remove packages from the cache flag i have set, but the
last time i ran it ages ago it cleared things out i didn't 
want it to remove so i won't run it again.  i always use
apt-get.
