Dear Debian LTS users,

This is a gentle reminder that Debian 11 (codename "bullseye") will
reach the end of its Long Term Support (LTS) period on 31 August 2026.
We encourage users to upgrade to Debian 12 (codename "bookworm"), and
then, when possible, to Debian 13 (codename "trixie").

Starting in September, Debian will not provide further security updates
for Debian 11.  A subset of bullseye packages will be supported by
external parties.  Detailed information can be found at [Extended LTS].

The Debian LTS Team will then focus on bookworm, the current oldstable
release, for which we took over security maintenance from the Security
Team in June.  Beyond supporting bookworm, we will do our best to also
contribute security fixes for trixie and unstable, which remain the
responsibility of the Security Team.

Bookworm will receive Long Term Support until 30 June 2028, five years
after its initial release.  The supported architectures for bookworm LTS
are 32-bit PC (i386), 64-bit PC (amd64), ARMv7 (armhf), 64-bit ARM
(arm64), and 64-bit little-endian PowerPC (ppc64el).

For further information about using bookworm and upgrading from bullseye
LTS, please refer to [LTS/Using].

Debian and its LTS Team would like to thank all contributing users,
developers and sponsors who made it possible to extend the life of
previous stable releases, and who have made this LTS a success.

If you rely on Debian LTS, please consider [joining the team], providing
patches, testing or [funding the efforts].
