We shouldn't have let so much time go by without putting out an alpha release, so yes, the situation you're describing is less than ideal. The debian-installer package got updated for the 11.4 point release (bullseye), and it was propagated upward (prop-up) to testing/unstable to satisfy version constraints; but the same doesn't happen for the contents of the installer-* directories, hence the timestamp differences you're seeing. > Cyril said "there seem to be some weird things going on, mixing and > matching bits from bullseye and unstable?".
