As sometimes happens...
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2021/08/msg00166.html
The URL http://deb.debian.org/debian-security points to the Fastly CDN,
which supports htps. hppts:// in place of http:// therefore shouldn't
lead to any problems.
Regarding cosustency: the prevailing opinion at
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=758316
is that
It does not make sense to use https. All data is authenticated
using GPG signatures. https only offers some encryption on top
of that,...
The installer falls in with that view; the Release Notes doesn't.
