[Bug 1935838] [NEW] Apt sources template for Debian Bullseye is outdated

 

Public bug reported:

The template file sources.list.debian.tmpl is outdated (current git main
branch).

The new format for the security repository looks like this:
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main

see here: https://wiki.debian.org/NewInBullseye

Simply changing the corresponding lines in the file to `deb {{security}}
{{codename}}-security main` would break it for old Debian versions.
Wrapping it in an `{% if %}` conditional and matching the codename would
also only be a partial fix, because the mapping from
testing/stable/oldstable to the actual release will keep changing.

So I don't know how to properly fix that.
