You can report a bug via the Debian BTS:

This makes it sound like you need to update your apt sources for the
changes to the security archive that happened in Debian bullseye:

Until the apt developers implement this, it might be possible to add a
hook script added to the DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs option in apt.conf.

It might be hard to write such a script. The apt-listbugs package is
probably the best example of how to process the hook script input.

Documentation on DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs is in the apt.conf manual page:
