Yes, I know Bullseye doesn't officially support so little memory.
However, I installed Bullseye fresh over a year and have been running
unattended-upgrades ever since, and not seen this until just now.
I left the machine off for about 6 months, so the last upgrade, on
January 3, ran a lot of updates. One of them was grub itself: grub-pc
(2.06-3~deb11u5) over (2.04-20). Possible regression?
