There is no such package name "lo" in bullseye-backports or any other
version of Debian. What are you actually trying to do?

If there were a package called 'lo' in bullseye-backports then all you'd
need (after editing your apt sources to include bullseye-backports) is
the last line.

You do not have to update the entire system after installing one
backports package.

The backports suites aren't full distributions and you could not have a
working system where every package comes from -backports as most of
those packages won't exist. bullseye-backports is only intended to
provide a relatively small number of newer packages for systems
nominally running Debian bullseye.
