You can see the actual change I wrote here:

    https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=935495#27
    
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/auto-apt-proxy/-/commit/d985df00f5234d2d1ac87f3ed0d0ab1a9b7f3b32

It is not a complicated change, but it is also not a complicated package.
I suggest you just cherry-pick auto-apt-proxy/bullseye on your buster systems.

[I'm just a nosy bystander; the views above are my own.]


PS: I did a quick test and cherry-pick seems to work:

                                --dpkgopt=force-unsafe-io
                                --variant=apt
                                --include=auto-apt-proxy
                                --customize-hook='chroot $1 bash'
                                buster - >/dev/null
