The irony is that `lsb_release -c` has been returning "bullseye" on
my sid machines for weeks, since base-files 11.1 was uploaded to
unstable (2021-04-10). The base-files in bullseye is still 11, but
I expect the current problem will sort itself out automatically once
11.1 migrates from unstable to testing:

Unfortunately, exactly *when* the release team will allow that is
unclear (at least to me).
