This may be specific to the kernel image. The following is rather
confusing:
$ apt install -s -t bullseye-backports linux-image-6.1.0-13-amd64/bullseye-backports
NOTE: This is only a simulation!
apt needs root privileges for real execution.
Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated,
so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!

Package linux-image-6.1.0-13-amd64 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
linux-image-6.1.0-13-amd64-unsigned
E: Release 'bullseye-backports' for 'linux-image-6.1.0-13-amd64' was not found
$ apt install -s -t bullseye-backports linux-image-6.1.0-13-amd64-unsigned/bullseye-backports
NOTE: This is only a simulation!
apt needs root privileges for real execution.

Going back to what reportbug says, it still outputs
[...]

Checking for newer versions at madison and https://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html
Your version (6.1.55-1) of linux-image-6.1.0-13-amd64 appears to be out of date.
The following newer release(s) are available in the Debian archive:
bullseye-backports (backports-policy): 6.1.55+1~bpo11+1
Please try to verify if the bug you are about to report is already addressed by these releases. Do you still want to file a report [y|N|q|?]?
So I've looked at https://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html with Firefox
and "linux-image" doesn't appear anywhere. So the information comes
from madison.
$ apt-cache madison linux-image-6.1.0-13-amd64
linux-image-6.1.0-13-amd64 | 6.1.55-1 | https://ftp.debian.org/debian stable/main amd64 Packages
linux-signed-amd64 | 6.1.55+1 | https://ftp.debian.org/debian stable/main Sources
No mentions of 6.1.55+1~bpo11+1, so this is more and more confusing.
