Get rid of ALL of that crap, if you are running stable.

No pinning.  No preferences.  (Backports are automatically pinned,
so you don't have to do anything.)

You run stable.  That's it.

unicorn:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main contrib non-free

deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian unstable main
unicorn:~$ ls /etc/apt/preferences.d/
unicorn:~$ 

deb-src lines are OK, because they allow you to build your own backports
if need be.  I haven't had to build one in a while, certainly not since
bullseye was released, so at the moment that deb-src line isn't doing
anything for me.  I should probably go comment it out now.
