Which says "security suite renamed to bullseye-security (from
buster/updates)".

If you are running "eternal testing" (you never convert it to a stable
release), then you HAVE NO security support.  None.  There is no line
you should use for security, because there isn't any security.

(Many years ago, someone created a "security for testing" repository,
and for a little while, it was used, but now it just sits there idle
and devoid of packages.  So, while *technically* there is a testing
security repository, it's not really *useful* and it would be a waste
of time and bandwidth to add it to your sources.)

The announcement in question (#931785) is for what the security
repository will be called when bullseye is *stable* and receives
security support.  People who track bullseye at this time in its
lifespan (while it is in testing) may add the security line in
anticipation of it becoming useful once bullseye becomes stable.

Eternal-testing users should only use the one line that points to
the testing repository (two lines if you want deb-src as well).
