To my surprise, reportbug asks me to use bullseye-backports

Your version (6.1.55-1) of linux-image-6.1.0-13-amd64 appears to be out of date.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|?]?

Why?


I'm not exactly sure how numbering works with unstable but
6.1.55+1~bpo11+1 comes after 6.1.55-1 but before 6.1.55+1

I'm not sure how you've ended up with a version with a '-' or bpo has
ended up with a '+'.

I thought the whole point of the bpo numbering was so it sorted before
the next release.
